"What is the hottest chilli you have here?" was one of the first questions we asked Felix Decurtins, the "Chilli Baron", when we AMIV and human medicine alumni visited him at his production nursery in Horgen.

On October 13, the two alumni associations HST and Human Medicine held a joint specialist event for the second time. The event on the topic of artificial intelligence and its application in medicine was discussed from various research, clinical and ethical perspectives.

The promotion of clinical research is as close to the heart of the Medizin@ETH project team as promoting the diverse medical activities regarding teaching, research and technology transfer through targeted public relations. In mid-November, plenty of Human Medicine alumnae and alumni participated in the panel discussion.

On 28 October, the specialist event entered the next round. For the first time, the two alumni affiliate organisations Human Medicine and HST jointly organised this year's event on the topic of "Women in elite sport".

In order to enjoy the winter once again before the start of the semester, the recently founded Human Medicine Alumni invited everyone to their second event in person.

On 4 December 2021, the time finally came for the first event of the Chapter Human medicine Alumni onsite. The members met for a fondue chat at the Alumni Pavilion of ETH Zurich.

Caya Gharibian, Alessandra Pfister and Leonie Perren graduated from ETH with a Bachelor’s in Human Medicine. They are now continuing in Basel, Lugano and Zurich respectively and hope to graduate as doctors in two years’ time. After receiving their diplomas in the summer of 2020, they decided to set up the Human Medicine Alumni. They talk about what it’s like to be amongst the first graduates of an ETH course and the goals they have for the latest affiliate organisation to join the ETH alumni.
