A central area of responsibility of the CCS is the organization and quality assurance of postgraduate and continuing medical education. Several specialized subcommissions have been established for this purpose:

- the Subcommission on Postgraduate and Continuing Education (SPCE),
- the Subcommission on Exams (SE),
- as well as the Subcommission on Titles (ST), which reviews the qualifications of candidates for the FMH title and accompanies the decision-making process regarding the awarding of the title.

To ensure the quality of treatment in the specialty, the CCS has also established the Subcommission on Quality Management (SQM) , which implements the corresponding measures in accordance with the FMH guidelines.

The CCS also deals with questions related to tariffs and billing. The Subcommission on Tariffs (STA) represents the members of the SSAI in tariff negotiations with health insurers, the government and other institutions. It monitors the existing tariff structures, proposes adjustments and ensures that fair billing practices are implemented.

Professional and policy matters concerning the specialty or the medical profession in a broader sense are handled by the Subcommission on Professional Policy (SPP).

The CCS also closely follows developments in immunological laboratory diagnostics. Within the SSAI, the Commission on Medical Laboratory Immunology (CMLI) is responsible for this area.
