Psychosomatic medicine is well established in Switzerland. It accounts for approximately 2.4% of the Swiss medical workforce, surpassing the density of psychosomatic specialists in many European countries. The field is considered an independent discipline and an essential complement to somatic medicine and psychiatry. Its clinical expertise primarily lies in diagnosing and treating functional somatic complaints and somato-psychic comorbidities. In Switzerland, certification in Psychosomatic and Psychosocial Medicine is granted as an interdisciplinary subspecialty title. This second title can be acquired in addition to a primary medical specialty. The multidisciplinary access reflects Switzerland’s understanding of psychosomatics as a cross-disciplinary field. This understanding recognizes that all clinical disciplines are affected by psychosomatic and psychosocial issues and can benefit from additional psychosomatic expertise. Academically, psychosomatic medicine is represented in clinical practice, research, and teaching at numerous universities and institutions across Switzerland.
