High precision medical education research
Congratulations to Michel Bosshard on completing his PhD project and the SNF project, together with Prof. Christoph Berendonk and team. Delivering bad news is a particular challenge for medical students. This research, conducted as part of a PhD, demonstrates how it can still be done—professionally and with empathy. In particular, this project has resulted in many high stakes publications: a total of 6 publications, including a meta-analysis and a study protocol. Read more PhD project description
