Professional section of Freie Ärzte Schweiz
Freie Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie Schweiz
The professional section represents physicians working in psychiatry and psychotherapy on professional-policy and tariff matters — in practices, centres and hospitals.
Member count
Professional priorities
- Time-appropriate representation of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic consultations
- Preservation of locally accessible specialist care
- Workable administration instead of additional documentation burden
Democratic principles
- Independent representation on professional-policy and tariff matters
- Leadership elected directly by the members of the section
- Transparent member decisions and comprehensible positions
- Open to physicians working in outpatient and inpatient settings
- Membership in existing specialty societies remains possible
- The aim is freedom of choice and democratic legitimacy — scientific and postgraduate training work is not duplicated unnecessarily
Data protection
Your membership of the professional section is not published by name.
For the legal membership the association knows your name, e-mail address and verification data internally. “Anonymous” refers to the public only.
Only aggregated figures are published — no public member directory, no individual data.
Joining the professional section
