The doctorate with professional qualification is to be accredited nationally (FOPH) and internationally (ISPA). Quality assurance is also guaranteed by an academic advisory board, passed by program managers, national and international experts, as well as representatives of professional associations and the intercantonal organization.
The professional curriculum is periodically evaluated for practical suitability on the basis of quality standards and indicators. Lecturers are periodically evaluated and informed of the evaluation results. PhD students are systematically involved in the further development of the curriculum through annual roundtable retreats.
Practical specialist work is evaluated annually by the direct supervisor using the form "Evaluation of practical specialist work" (pdf follows).
The doctoral dissertations of graduates are made available to the national and international professional public. Implementation projects in practice are specially supported.
