She specialised in the fields of gynaecology and obstetrics in 2003 and earned her doctorate from the Faculty of medicine in Geneva in 2004. Her fellowship took her to Brussels, where she was given the opportunity to work at the highly prestigious Institut Jules Bordet, alongside Professeur Nogaret within the Breast and pelvis surgery department, and with Professor Piccart in the Translational breast cancer research unit.

Dr Magdalena Kohlik has been very involved in recommendations for clinical practices in the treatment of breast cancer, working closely with the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, the Réseau Romand de Cancer et Fertilité, and with the Head of research in the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer’s AMAROS trial.

From 2007 to 2018 she worked as a consultant at the Breast centre in the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève, and was a member of the Breast centre at the Clinique de Genolier. Dr Johlik has was also involved in the certification label launched by the Ligue Contre le Cancer and the Société de Sénologie in 2014. In 2018 she renewed her certifications at the Breast Centre at the Clinique de Genolier.
