After studying medicine in Lausanne, Dr Jean-Pierre Chevalley worked as an internal medicine assistant in Professor Pierre Magnenat’s department at the CHUV. The humane and comprehensive approach to patient care he witnessed had a profound influence on him.

During his five years’ experience as a senior registrar, he spent a year at St Claraspital, one of Switzerland’s leading centres for visceral surgery specialising in oncology. Dr Chevalley then joined the Clinique de Genolier, where he naturally focused primarily on oncological surgery.
