Kann ich nach einer Ausbildung in Alternative Medizin direkt als Therapeut arbeiten?
Can I work directly as a therapist after training in alternative medicine?
Secondly, you should be aware that alternative medicine therapy is only covered by supplementary health insurance if the therapists are recognized by professional organizations and associations such as ASCA, EMR, SBO-TCM, Cranio Suisse or Kine Suisse. These organizations have clearly defined guidelines according to which therapists must be trained and undergo further training every year. Only those who have one of these recognitions can register their method and bill their sessions to the health insurance companies. Otherwise, patients are forced to bear the costs themselves and cannot even be sure whether the therapist is actually sufficiently trained in the desired field of alternative medicine. Therefore, think carefully in advance about how you would like to work in the future and what is important to you.
