Area of activity
The Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (SGPGHE/SSGHNP) represents all pediatricians who have specialized in the field or show a deeper interest in this area of focus. The SGPGHE meets twice a year for plenary sessions, each with an administrative/professional and a further education/scientific part.
The aim of the company is to offer children and young people with acute and chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and pancreas, as well as nutritional issues, child-friendly assessment and treatment options. We also promote the field and support further education and training as well as research in Switzerland.
Continuing education
The further training for the specialist title lasts 3 years, of which 1 year can be completed as part of the further training to become a specialist in pediatric and adolescent medicine. We encourage and support our fellows to gain international experience during a stay abroad in order to deepen their knowledge in certain areas.
Specialist examination
In 2023, 2 candidates took the specialist examination and successfully passed it, for which we warmly congratulate.
Pediatric Gastro-Weekend
Our annual gastro weekend takes place in spring. Young doctors in further training to become pediatricians have the opportunity to work on, present and discuss gastroenterological, hepatological and nutritional issues together with a tutor during a two-day course in Gunten on Lake Thun in a small group.
Educational Grant
We award training grants every year. All doctors in training, as well as trained pediatricians who work in the field of pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition, can apply. The maximum amount is CHF 2,000 per 6 months and can be divided among several applicants. Find financial participation
