Our future chief physician or our future chief physician of the intensive care unit

About the job

This is a demanding but also fulfilling task. In addition to caring for our patients, you will lead the intensive care unit both professionally and personnel-wise (administratively subordinated to the chief anesthesiologist, but professionally independent), train one to two assistant doctors (duration 3-6 months) in intensive care medicine, and take on teaching (medical training site category B for intensive care medicine). In addition, you will actively contribute to the further development of intensive care standards and quality assurance. If you bring the right mix of expertise, empathy, and humor, we could become an unbeatable team!

• Solid knowledge and broad experience in intensive care medicine and possibly in one of the specialties anesthesia, surgery, internal medicine, emergency medicine, or pain therapy (Swiss specialist title for intensive care medicine or Mebeko recognition) – our diseases/injuries are diverse, so we need someone who has a broad spectrum of care experience
• Personality - we wish for a responsible, proactive, and humorous contact person who accompanies us competently and with a smile
• Commitment - there are many challenges in our unit, so a high level of dedication, flexibility, and assertiveness is required
