Rheumatology in crisis : rethinking training and care amidst a growing challenge

Musculoskeletal diseases, on the rise, pose a major challenge in French-speaking Switzerland where the shortage of rheumatologists is worsening, due to the aging of practitioners, a scarcity of emerging professionals, and a trend towards part-time work among young doctors. To address this, increasing rheumatology training positions and enhancing general practitioners' training in these pathologies are essential. The adoption of alternative care models, such as monitoring by specialized nurses and greater involvement of physiotherapists, should be considered. This evolution is crucial for patients, whose quality of life and health depend on the accessibility and effectiveness of adequate care. Therefore, concerted action is indispensable to ensure a sustainable and effective future for rheumatology in French-speaking Switzerland.
