Swiss Gender Medicine Symposium 2026
Where evidence meets practice
Gender medicine has long since answered the question of whether biological sex and gender play a role. The evidence is there. What remains is the more difficult task: translating this knowledge into clinical practice, research structures, and health policy. That is precisely what this symposium is all about.
On October 26 and 27, 2026, the second Swiss Gender Medicine Symposium at the Kursaal Bern will bring together leading voices from clinical practice, research, and health policy, from Switzerland and around the world. The program is aimed at professionals in medicine, research, public health, industry, and politics and covers clinical guidelines, global health, men’s health, medical education, as well as AI and bias in big data.
Join us—registration is now open. Early-bird registration available through June 30.
