Preface

The field of “physical and rehabilitative medicine” represents not just the physical medicine procedures that are indispensable for curative medicine, but also the medical rehabilitation that is of central importance to physical medicine. However, “physical and rehabilitative medicine” also includes the medical knowledge that is necessary for spa treatment and social medicine.

The interdisciplinary character reported in the regulation on further education is of crucial importance.
