The Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine promotes research and teaching in the fields of health, medicine, functional capacity and rehabilitation. Our mission is to improve health and well-being for all by creating a diverse, inclusive environment for innovative research, education and services.
The PhD student will participate in projects focused on integrating new roles, such as advanced practice nurses and other professions, in primary care (for example, Pilotierung von Pflegelotsinnen oder Pflegelotsen zur Koordination von Pflegenotfällen im Kanton Zug | Age-Stiftung).
