The University Children's Hospital Basel (UKBB) offers a wide range of training programmes that go far beyond the traditional professions of doctors and nursing. In addition to medical care, other professional groups also play a decisive role in the smooth running and high quality of patient care.
By providing training in these diverse areas, UKBB ensures that all aspects of patient care are covered and that young patients receive the best possible care. Each profession contributes in its own way to UKBB's mission of providing comprehensive, high-quality medical care for children and adolescents
UKBB also offers exciting apprenticeships in the laboratory sector. Laboratory specialists are responsible for carrying out and analysing diagnostic tests that are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Their work forms the basis for many medical decisions and therefore contributes directly to the quality of patient care.
In the area of therapies, UKBB offers basic training in various specialisms, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and music therapy. These therapeutic professions are essential for the holistic treatment and rehabilitation of young patients and make a significant contribution to their recovery and well-being.
The internships in physiotherapy and occupational therapy are allocated by the universities of applied sciences. You cannot apply for these.
If you have any questions about an internship in speech therapy and music therapy or would like to apply for a position, please contact Christine Wondrusch Haschke or Cornelia NeuhausCo-Head of Therapies.
Administration is the backbone of UKBB. It offers training in commercial professions that are essential for the organisation and smooth running of the hospital. Administrative staff ensure that all administrative processes run efficiently, which in turn relieves the medical staff and allows them to concentrate fully on patient care.
UKBB offers various internships within administration and care management.
