CAS in Translational Medicine

School for Translational Medicine and Biomedical Entrepreneurship (sitem-insel School)

Translational medicine is a new, process-oriented discipline that aims to translate new findings and products emerging from private-sector development and basic research into clinical applications. It seeks to professionalize the essential interaction between basic science researchers, clinicians, regulatory bodies and investors.

This study program is designed to train professionals in scientific and medical knowledge, and simultaneously in entrepreneurship skills to enable them to successfully coordinate the development and commercialization of biomedical products. The program is open for all academic disciplines. For academics without a background in natural science, engineering or medicine, a special module «Prerequisites» has been developed.

About the program

Structure of the CAS TM Program

The CAS TM is a part-time program (15 ECTS), consisting of the development of a real-life, practical translational project, and the acquisition of theoretical medical knowledge. It consists of modules in the form of e-learning activities, face-to-face sessions, and a performance review. It provides participants with the necessary knowledge and tools to the principles of research, the level of excellence needed by regulatory agencies, intellectual property, and an understanding to clinical trials. Participants choose three out of the five first modules of the TMBE Program (13 ECTS). The implementation of the course content into practice is achieved with a certificate thesis worth 2 ECTS credits. After successful participation, the University of Bern awards the Certificate of Advanced Studies. 

The TMBE program is highly modular, thus allowing individual learning approaches and fast tracks (see MAS TMBE,  DAS TMBE, DAS TM, CAS BE). It is also possible to book single modules in case free places are available.
