Federal Register of Medical Professions (MedReg): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how licensed pharmacists in Switzerland use the MedReg to maintain official recognition and public listing as qualified professionals.
The Federal Register of Medical Professions (MedReg) is the official registry used to list and recognize qualified medical professionals throughout Switzerland.
Who it's for
This registry is specifically intended for all licensed pharmacists practicing in Switzerland. It serves as the centralized system to ensure that those working in the pharmaceutical field are officially documented within the national healthcare framework.
What you get
By being part of this register, you receive formal recognition of your professional status. This includes a public listing that confirms your qualifications to the general public and other healthcare entities. This listing acts as a verification that you are a qualified professional authorized to practice your profession within the country.
What it costs you
Maintaining your status in the register requires an annual fee of CHF 120. To complete the registration process and ensure your details are accurate, you must provide official proof of your identity and your professional diploma. This documentation is necessary to verify that you meet the legal requirements for pharmacy practice.
The catch to know
The most important administrative requirement is that you must update your registered address immediately if you move between different cantons. Because the registry is used for official oversight, keeping your location data current is mandatory; if you fail to report a change of address, you risk being issued administrative fines.
How to apply
- Prepare your professional diploma and necessary identity documents for verification.
- Access the official portal to begin your registration.
- Complete the required digital forms to establish your professional profile.
- Pay the annual fee of CHF 120 to finalize your entry.
