Where do the Swiss cantonal licensing questions come from?

Each question is drawn from the Zurich Gesundheitsgesetz, the Geneva loi sur la santé and the RISanté beside them, and names the standard it comes from with a link to the regulator's own page. The facts were checked against zh.ch on 15 October 2026.

Does the score predict my Swiss cantonal licensing licence?

No. The score shows where your evidence is strong and where it is thin, area by area, so you know what to work on first. Swiss cantonal licensing decides the licence after its own assessment.

Does Swiss cantonal licensing endorse this quiz or wai?

Cantonal health authorities of Zurich and Geneva registers and rates providers. It does not approve, certify or endorse software, wai included, and software cannot earn a licence on a provider's behalf. wai keeps the records your team uses to show Swiss cantonal licensing how care is delivered, and Swiss cantonal licensing decides the licence.
