CAS Biomedical Entrepreneurship
sitem-insel School, Unversität Bern
Translational medicine is a new, process-oriented discipline that aims to translate new findings and products emerging from private-sector development and basic research into clinical applications. It seeks to professionalize the essential interaction between basic science researchers, clinicians, regulatory bodies and investors.
This study program is designed to train professionals in scientific and medical knowledge, and simultaneously in entrepreneurship skills to enable them to successfully coordinate the development and commercialization of biomedical products. The program is open for all academic disciplines. For academics without a background in natural science, engineering or medicine, a special module «Prerequisites» has been developed.

About the program
Structure of the CAS BE Program
The CAS BE is a part-time program (15 ECTS), consisting of the development of a real-life, practical translational project, and the acquisition of entrepreneurial knowledge in the field of translational medicine. It consists of modules in the form of e-learning activities, face-to-face sessions, and a performance review. Participants complete module 6 and learn to master business models and related aspects, and are able to identify critical success factors for their project, including, but not limited to financial principles, the health system and leadership (13 ECTS). The implementation of the course content into practice is achieved with a certificate thesis worth 2 ECTS credits. After successful participation, the University of Bern awards the Certificate of Advanced Studies.
The TMBE program is highly modular, thus allowing individual learning approaches and fast tracks (see MAS TMBE, DAS TMBE, DAS TM, CAS TM). It is also possible to book single modules in case free places are available.
