It belongs to the department of Public Health of the Medical Faculty at the University of Basel and operates with partners worldwide. It is accredited as IMI PharmaTrain ‘Centre of Excellence’ and acknowledged by the International Federation of Associations of Pharmaceutical Physicians (IFAPP) and the respective country associations in Switzerland.

The programs are targeted at representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, service industry, academic and government decision- and policymakers who already have a good understanding of the basics of drug development and will benefit from a more in-depth, comprehensive and systematic immersion into modern medical product and device development, regulation and market introduction.
