[YoungDGIIN's position on the current debate about the proposed 'Specialist in Emergency Medicine' curriculum]

The YoungDGIIN presents its position on the proposed German curriculum for a new Specialist in Emergency Medicine ("Facharzt für Notfallmedizin"). The statement supports the goal of further professionalizing clinical acute and emergency care but considers the current curriculum, in its present form, difficult to implement and in need of revision. Key concerns include the short clinical rotations, which do not realistically allow for the acquisition of the required competencies, and, from the perspective of the YoungDGIIN, the insufficient emphasis on internal medicine despite its central role in emergency care. The YoungDGIIN also calls for a clear definition of responsibilities and boundaries between specialties and, together with the relevant professional societies, advocates a structured further development of clinical emergency medicine to support its continued professionalization.
