[The National German Transplantation Certification : Interdisciplinary and innovative]

The interdisciplinary additional advanced training in transplantation medicine (ZWB) has been passed with the (Model) Advanced Training Regulation 2018 and is now implemented in all federal states. It includes joint interdisciplinary contents that must be mastered by all disciplines and special skills that are specific to the individual disciplines. An organ-specific training is also possible. With its interdisciplinary approach the ZWB transplantation certification is pioneering the structure of modern transplantation centers and will thus further improve the quality of treatment for patients on the waiting lists for organ transplantation and for patients with transplanted organs.
