[The significance of hierarchy in postgraduate education]

There are structures of hierarchy in the postgraduate education. The postgraduate education is organized as a programme the young doctor has to absolve. The instruction and the control of the implementation of that programme must be carried out by a competent and experienced older physician, who is responsible for the correctness of that, the young doctor has to learn in his postgraduate education. The older physician unequivocally is integrated in the hierarchy above the young doctor legitimated by his knowledge, his experience and his personality. The hierarchy demonstrates itself as an indication of the moral integrity of the community and of each only individual.
