Dr. Schlögl was awarded a scholarship from the National Institutes of Health (NIH/NIDDK), which allowed him to spend a research visit in Phoenix, USA, from 2012 to 2015.

Following his research, he earned a Master’s in Public Health (MPH) from the Harvard T.H. School of Public Health.

His primary clinical focuses are delirium, communication with patients, and geriatric palliative medicine, which are also at the heart of his research.

Dr. Schlögl has a keen interest in the education of young physicians, and in recognition of his dedication to continuing education, he received the national SIWF Teaching Award in 2021 and 2022.

As a delegate of the Swiss Society for Geriatrics (SFGG) for the SIWF/FMH Continuing Education Commission, he is also committed to advocating for this cause in his professional capacity.
