2009-2013 : les ann\u00e9es fondatrices<\/strong><\/p>

Passionate about their profession and wanting to create a center of excellence in orthopedics, Drs. Jacques Vallotton and Dante Marchesi founded Medicol in 2009 and launched a web platform for medical information in this field. Many surgeons and doctors from other specialties were attracted by this momentum and joined them. Medicol became a reference model for patient medical information and care during surgery. This multidisciplinary and user-friendly approach has made Medicol a success, ensuring the dissemination of information relating to each of its members and creating links with other medical and paramedical specialties. In 2013, Medicol entered into a partnership with Hirslanden Clinique Bois-Cerf and developed joint activities by organizing training events for healthcare professionals and the general public.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

2014-2018 : une nouvelle \u00e9tape de d\u00e9veloppement<\/strong><\/p>

In 2017, Medicol created a group practice and obtained a training mandate in sports medicine from SEMS. Medicol can now welcome doctors wishing to complete their training in sports orthopedics.<\/p><\/div>

In 2018, Medicol received provisional authorization from the FMH (ISFM) to train young doctors in orthopedic surgery, authorization which will be definitively acquired in May 2022. This desire to commit to training is reflected in the hiring of new doctors and more efficient support for member doctors in the context of their surgical and scientific activity.<\/p>

In 2018, Medicol took a new step and opened the Ouchy Orthopedic Center, which offers a medical consultation service specializing in orthopedic surgery and musculoskeletal trauma, physical medicine and rehabilitation, as well as sports medicine.<\/p>

2019-2025 : consolidation et reconnaissance de la mission de formation<\/strong><\/p>

L’ann\u00e9e suivante, le programme de fellowships en chirurgie orthop\u00e9dique est mis en place afin de renforcer la transmission des comp\u00e9tences et l’encadrement des jeunes sp\u00e9cialistes.<\/p>

En 2021, Medicol \u00e9largit ses activit\u00e9s gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une collaboration dans le domaine des urgences orthop\u00e9diques, am\u00e9liorant ainsi la prise en charge des patients traumatologiques.<\/p>

Ces d\u00e9veloppements sont couronn\u00e9s en 2022 par l’obtention de l’agr\u00e9ment d\u00e9finitif de la FMH pour la formation en orthop\u00e9die et traumatologie, confirmant la place de Medicol comme centre de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence en soins et en enseignement.<\/p>

2026 : innovation et rayonnement num\u00e9rique<\/strong><\/p>

En 2026, Medicol entreprend une refonte compl\u00e8te de ses plateformes num\u00e9riques, incluant les sites du Centre Orthop\u00e9dique d’Ouchy, de Medicol, de fhl.science et de medicolrehab.ch, afin de renforcer la visibilit\u00e9 de ses activit\u00e9s et d’am\u00e9liorer l’exp\u00e9rience des utilisateurs.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
