Training

Dr Ödman-Jaques began her medical studies in Lausanne in 1994. After a year in Lund, in Sweden, she obtained her degree in medicine in Lausanne in December 2000. After practising general surgery for a year in the hospital in Morges, she embarked on her ENT training in Lausanne under the supervision of Professor Philippe Monnier. She worked as chief clinician in the hospital at La Chaux-de-Fonds with Drs Jean-Paul Friedrich and Daniel Leuba in 2006-2007 before coming back to CHUV, where she worked as chief clinician for another four years.

Her dissertation, "Influence of diet on the emergence of gallstones", under the supervision of Professor Willy Lehmann and Dr Francis Marchal, was accepted at the University of Geneva in January 2005.

Dr Ödman-Jaques passed her FMH exam as an ENT specialist in 2005 and the exam in the subspecialism of head and neck surgery in 2006. Her training was completed with a diploma in neck ultrasonography in 2010.
