Art. 10 Legge federale del 30 settembre 2016 sulle professioni sanitarie (LPSan)
LPSan; Capitolo 4: Riconoscimento di titoli di studio esteri
Art. 10 LPSan
Un titolo di studio estero è riconosciuto se la sua equivalenza con un titolo di studio svizzero di cui all’articolo 12 capoverso 2: a. è prevista da un accordo sul reciproco riconoscimento concluso con lo Stato interessato o con un’organizzazione sovrastatale; o b. è dimostrata nel singolo caso in base al livello, ai contenuti e alla durata del ciclo di studio e alle qualifiche pratiche contenutevi.
Un titolo di studio estero riconosciuto esplica, ai fini dell’esercizio della professione in Svizzera, i medesimi effetti del corrispondente titolo di studio svizzero.
Il Consiglio federale disciplina il riconoscimento di titoli di studio esteri nel campo di applicazione della presente legge. Può delegare tale compito a terzi. Questi ultimi possono riscuotere emolumenti per le loro prestazioni. Il Consiglio federale disciplina gli emolumenti.
Il Consiglio federale può subordinare il riconoscimento di titoli di studio esteri a provvedimenti di compensazione.
