Why are heart attacks in women often not recognized? Why is osteoporosis significantly underdiagnosed in men? Why do women experience side effects from medications more frequently?
Both biological and sociocultural aspects of gender have an impact on the prevention, diagnosis, progression, and treatment of diseases. These differences are often overlooked in clinical practice and research. The CAS program in Sex- and Gender-Specific Medicine introduces tools, concepts, and ideas for ensuring that health care and medical research across various disciplines are gender-responsive.
The program is a part-time university continuing education program and is designed for individuals with a master’s degree in medicine or a related field. It is run by the Universities of Bern and Zurich.
All modules can be booked individually (1 ECTS point/two-day module, CME points from medical societies).
