In teaching and research, asim focuses on issues from insurance medicine practice at the interface of medicine and law and promotes innovation projects in the field of expert opinions, such as the joint expert consilium in medical liability matters. It contributes to the professionalization of insurance medicine with broad interdisciplinary educational activities.

Prof. Dr. iur. Kurt Pärli has been a member of the teaching staff of the postgraduate MAS, CAS, DAS in InsuranceMedicine at the University of Basel, co-directed by Yvonne Bollag, for many years and has also been involved in various asim, Insurance Medicine - Insurance Law training events at the University Hospital Basel.

With this research project, asim, Insurance Medicine and the Chair of Private Social Law want to intensify their collaboration. The aim is to bundle and deepen the expertise of both units in the best possible way and thus contribute to the analysis and problem-solving of the topic of "disability" (with a focus on incapacity to work).
