The Swiss Society for Emergency and Rescue Medicine SGNOR has been in existence since November 23, 1990, initially as an association of prehospital physicians (Association of Swiss Emergency Physicians VSN).

On March 11, 1995  the foundation stone was laid in Bern  for the transformation of the VSN into a specialist society. After consultation with the members, the society was renamed on July 1, 1995 Swiss. Society for Emergency and Rescue Medicine SGNOR

In recent years, the SGNOR has become a recognized point of contact for questions relating to the entire spectrum of emergency medicine, be it pre-hospital or in-hospital emergency medicine, but also disaster medicine. She hopes for constructive, enriching cooperation with all those involved in the rescue chain and the authorities - to improve emergency medicine in the interests of emergency patients!

The association now has over 1,200 members.

Certificate of competence in preclinical emergency medicine / emergency physician SGNOR

In June 1999, the FMH Medical Association in Bern approved the SGNOR certificate of competence in emergency medicine. It came into force on January 1, 2000. The program has since been revised several times and approved by the responsible SIWF/FMH committees (13.10.2005/.6.2007 /26.5.2010 / 01.01.2018) and now meets all requirements.

The certificate of competence in clinical emergency medicine (SGNOR), which came into force on 1.7.2009, became an interdisciplinary specialization on 1.1.2021 - after more than four years of negotiations.
