The position is attached to the Département des neurosciences cliniques (https://www.hug.ch/departement-neurosciences-cliniques). This department provides care to female and male patients of all ages, children and adults, suffering from neurosurgical, neurological, ophthalmological and oto-rhino-laryngological pathologies. Care is adapted to the needs and difficulties of the male and female patient, from the most acute sectors (intermediate care units) to the rehabilitation sectors (neurorehabilitation).

The objective of the department is to lead the patients toward recovery of their autonomy through teaching, support and outpatient follow-up. It ensures the operation of male and female patients as well as their support, in order to favor an early return home. In the same vein, outpatient care is also prioritized and surgical activity optimized, to facilitate accessibility to care within a reasonable timeframe.

The Ophthalmology Department of the HUG has been, since its creation in 1878, the leading ophthalmology hub in the canton of Geneva in terms of diagnosis, treatment of eye diseases as well as research. It relies on the most modern diagnostic methods, the most innovative techniques and minimally invasive surgical intervention methods. Its primary values are those of a university service.
