Participant Seminar „Swiss healthcare system“
Our lecturer, Dr. med. Peter Indra MPH, did a brilliant job of making the seminar interactive, sharing with us his vast experience, and answering our curious questions. Not only was it valuable to learn more about the Swiss healthcare system, but it was also a great opportunity to meet a diverse group of participants from the industry, engaging in quality discussions and exchanging ideas.
