FMH - Swiss Medical Association
The FMH is the professional association of Swiss doctors and the umbrella organisation of over 90 medical organisations. It represents over 46,000 members. The General Secretariat with over 100 employees coordinates the operational and strategic-political level and serves as a link to the public.
New editor-in-chief for the SÄZ
The SÄZ will now be edited and published by the FMH, with external journalists supplementing the editorial team. Organisations and institutions as well as other authors are invited to submit texts that are relevant to everyday medical practice. An editorial committee reviews the submissions and decides on their publication. Charlotte Schweizer and Matthias Scholer are co-editors-in-chief. Both have many years of media experience and have accompanied the SÄZ in various functions over many years.
