- ISPM lecturers provide undergraduate teaching in medicine, pharmacy, Biomedical Engineering, Biomedical Sciences, and climate sciences at the University of Bern.
- ISPM engages in the University of Bern PhD and postgraduate course programs and offers 3 CAS.
- ISPM includes two research platforms and over ten research groups covering areas from child and adolescent health to environmental health, HIV, cancer, and non-communicable diseases, with a strong methodological focus and the development of new methods.
