The Cardiology Department in Valais Hospital is accredited by the Federation of Swiss Doctors (‘Fédération des Médecins Suisses’, FMH) to provide training as a cardiology specialist for a duration of 2 years (B1 category).

As a rule, the Cardiology Department at Valais Hospital employs doctors training to become cardiology specialists within the framework of a general training course provided in a university hospital. Thus, the year spent in Sion can be credited as an ‘external’ year as is required in the training course to become an FMH specialist in cardiology.
