Position Paper of the Youth Forum DGOU 2010 – part 2

Abstract

The aim of the "Youth Forum of the DGOU” during the Convention 2010 in Heidelberg was to place a statement concerning the professional politics in the field of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery.

The Bologna Process realizes a standardization of the academic training within the European Union. For medicine this concept would raise the opportunity to opt out after three years with a bachelor degree applying for alternative occupations within the health care system. However, these alternative occupations are rarely defined and, in addition, the current structure of medical school in Germany provides the highest possible education for doctors in a direct and very well established way. Thus, reforming medical school in Germany into a Bachelor-master’s system is an ambivalent approach, which considers a thorough reappraisal.

There is currently no necessity for an speciality training in emergency medicine. The rapid and qualified treatment by the specific subspecialty provides a high standard of care for the patient. The high frequency exposure of the trauma and orthopaedic resident with emergency cases is an essential part of the current professional training.

The "Junge Forum der DGOU” continues to understand the speciality training "Facharzt für Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie" as the basic module of the profession. After that it should be possible to continuing subspecialty training and obtaining "spezielle Unfallchirurgie” bzw "spezielle orthopädische Chirurgie”. After that further subspecialty training should be encouraged.
