SHAPED - the Swiss Health Alliance for Interprofessional Education


SHAPED - short for Swiss Health Alliance for Interprofessional Education - is a students- and young-professional-based association, which aims to further interprofessional education (IPE) within the healthcare system in Switzerland.

Our goal is to promote IPE in Switzerland and thereby strengthen collaboration in the healthcare sector. We are convinced that this is not only something future patients will profit from, but also a key factor that will lead to a more sustainable work atmosphere in healthcare institutions.

To reach this goal, SHAPED creates opportunities for students and young professionals across all healthcare professions to improve their interprofessional skills and actively engage in interprofessional work and exchange.

"SHAPED is committed to strengthening interprofessional education and cooperation in the Swiss healthcare system."
