“…Students were equally likely to be interested in completing additional training in ID and the professional designation, suggesting that students might be not fully informed about the different training opportunities, the current status and therefore unable to clearly discriminate between them. Correspondingly, Schneitler et al showed in a survey of medical students and young doctors that knowledge about possibilities for postgraduate training paths should be generated at the university level to attract for special disciplines [ 5 ]. In conjunction with the available data, this shows that interest and possible training paths in the discipline should already be promoted at the university level.…”

et al. 2023

Purpose Recently, the German Medical Association introduced a new board certification in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases (ID). Accompanying, current experience with ID training and expectations for the new curriculum were assessed. Methods After the development of a digital survey covering four main areas with 59 questions, it was distributed via the German Society for Infectious Diseases (DGI) and other networks following a snowball principle. Participation was carried out digitally in a web-based application. Results Between December 2021 and February 2022, 300 datasets were included. 38.9% (114/293) of respondents had completed the additional training in ID. Of those, 54.0% (61/113) were concerned about recognition of previous training certification in the future after the establishment of the new sub-specialization. Overall, 78.5% (135/172) of respondents were satisfied or rather satisfied with the qualification gained through their training, but 8.7% (15/172) felt poorly prepared by their ID training. With regard to the inclusion of microbiology or antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) training into the new ID training curriculum, 84.6% (254/300) and 87.7% (263/300) of participants, respectively, desired an integration. Only 30.8% (53/172) felt sufficiently supported by their employer regarding childcare and 51.7% (89/172) reported missing support for scientific commitment. Conclusion Overall, ID training in Germany seems satisfactory so far, but there is uncertainty about future recognition. Participants find that AMS and microbiology training should be integrated into new ID training curricula. New concepts regarding the compatibility of childcare and career as well as the support of scientific commitment seem essential to attract young professionals to the field.

“…Eine Erhebung auf europäischem Niveau hat gezeigt, dass die Wahrnehmung und das Wissen dieser Fachbereiche bei Medizinstudierenden und jungen Ärztinnen und Ärzten nicht gleich ausgeprägt sind 1 . In der Subanalyse konnte für Deutschland nachgewiesen werden, dass beispielhaft die Möglichkeit einer fachbezogenen Weiterbildung eher dann bekannt ist, wenn eine entsprechende Institution in der ausbildenden Universität vorgehalten wird 1 . Bereits 2015 zeigte sich, dass die Zahlen der voll weitergebildeten Tropenmediziner abnahm und dass eine Weiterbildung nur in 8 Bundesländern möglich war 2 .…”
