solutions to recruitment problems in surgery
Berlin - the surgery in Germany has recruiting problems: Unregulated working hours and overtime young doctors shy away from a development into the field. Even now draw shortages in East Germany from. As the surgical treatment of patients can be saved in the future, is a subject of a preliminary press conference on the 125th Surgeons Congress on Monday, 21 April 2008, in Berlin. Ways of resolving the crisis young experts will discuss at the conference, from 22 to 25 April 2008 in Berlin takes place.
About five percent of graduates from medical school opt for a surgical specialist training - ten to twelve percent would be necessary, however, to close the gap in age-related. The high physical and psychological stress of the subject and the resulting difficult balance between career and family scares the vast majority of young doctors from surgical specialties from. "From 2010 we must expect serious shortages," said Professor Dr. Michael Polonius, President of the German Association of Surgeons (BDC).
The view of the European countries shows that are worthwhile performance-related pay and new working models . "In some areas there are differences to the German health system, making an imitation is not always possible," Professor Polonius. A self-critical
comparison with other disciplines in Germany is therefore necessary. These issues are at meetings of the 125th Surgeons Congress discussed. Professor Polonius will present ways forward in the coming crisis of German surgery at a press conference.
