Gesellschaft Schweizer Tierärztinnen und Tierärzte (GST)

The Swiss Association of Veterinarians (GST) represents the interests of veterinarians in Switzerland and works to promote veterinary medicine as well as the veterinary professions. The GST is not only an interest group but also a platform for exchange and continuing education, which is of decisive importance particularly for veterinarians in Switzerland. Its main goal is to improve the quality and ethical standards within veterinary medicine. In addition to representation vis-à-vis politics, society, and the economy, the GST is actively engaged in the continuing education of its members. It offers various courses, continuing-education opportunities, and information events that help veterinarians keep their knowledge and skills up to date.

The GST is also committed to animal health by addressing topics such as pets, farm animals, and wild animals. With its expertise, the association aims to have a positive influence on veterinary medicine and the health of animals. In this spirit, the GST regularly organizes events and expert discussions that include both scientific contributions and practical topics. Members of the GST have access to various resources, such as the specialist journal SAT, which contains current information and research findings.

The GST is well anchored in Switzerland and has its headquarters on Brückfeldstrasse in Bern. Veterinarians can easily get in touch with the GST to become a member or to obtain further information. In addition to the offerings for veterinarians, the GST also addresses pet owners by providing information about services and the rights of veterinarians. Through the GST platform, comprehensive networking within veterinary medicine is fostered, so that both veterinarians and pet owners can learn from and benefit from one another.
