List Of Specialization

Specialization branches

The following examples aim to explain the summary table "Facharzt- und Schwerpunktkompetenz" (Specialist and Specialty Competence). They specify the minimum time needed for four different "Facharzt" (Specialist) qualifications. At the end of each Specialist, Specialty or Extra Qualification course, the trained doctor must document the required disciplinary competencies by passing an examination in order to gain the relevant title: Specialist, Specialty or Extra Qualification.

1. Internal Medicine and General Medicine

Continuing training in the fields of "Internal and General Medicine" lasts (a total of) at least:

60 months (5 years) for disciplinary competence (Fachkompetenz) as a "General Practitioner".
72 months (6 years) for specialist competence (Facharztkompetenz) as an "Internist"
72 months (6 years) for specialist competence (Facharztkompetenz) as an "Internist + Additional disciplinary competencies (e.g. Internist and Pneumologist)"

2. Surgery

To gain the specialist competencies listed in the table for the field of "Surgery", a doctor must initially complete at least 24 months (2 years) of basic continuing training. This is then followed by specialist continuing surgical training in the desired field. The choice of specialist competencies in the field of surgery are: General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Cardiac Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery, Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Thorax Surgery and Visceral Surgery.

In other words: A doctor wishing to gain qualification as a Facharzt (Specialist) in the field of thorax surgery must, for example, complete at least 24 months of basic continuing training plus at least 48 months of subsequent specialist continuing training in thorax surgery. This means 24 months + 48 months = a minimum of at least 72 months (6 years).

3. Anaesthesiology

A doctor must complete at least 60 months (5 years) of continuing medical training to qualify as an Anesthetist.

4. Pediatrics

Continuing training in the field of Pediatrics lasts at least 60 months. After passing the final examination, the qualified doctor is given the title: "Facharztfür Kinder- und Jugendmedizin" "Pediatrician". Subsequent specialization, for example in the field of "Neuropaediatrics / Child Neurology", takes at least 36 months and is completed with a further examination.
