摘要:In the autumn of 2006, the first cohort of students started with the bachelor programme in Basle.The whole curriculum had to be changed from the old system to the new two-cycle system.The implementation of the Bologna reform in Switzerland has been successful especially with regard to the very tight time schedule.Ongoing evaluation will detect fields for improvement which will of course arise in such a fundamental process of change.A major challenge for the future will be the sustainable consolidation of high quality in medical education.
