Basic course in developmental paediatrics Basel - Bern

This page has been translated automatically.

The comprehensive assessment of a child's stage of development is the everyday task of the paediatrician in hospital as well as in practice. For this reason, the Swiss Society of Paediatrics, in collaboration with the Swiss Society of Developmental Paediatrics and the directors of the A-clinics, has called for systematic training in the basics of child development.

In 2025, we are again offering this systematic training in developmental paediatrics as part of a modular programme on the topics of growth and development, nutrition, motor skills, language, cognitive and play development, developmental diagnostics, school and socio-legal framework conditions, sleep, emotional development and adolescent medicine in cooperation with the University Children's Hospital Basel and the Children's Clinic of the Inselspital Bern.
