District of Günzburg: New initiative for strong general practitioners!

The general practitioner care in the district of Günzburg is very important to those responsible. A new initiative is intended to ensure that young doctors are kept in the region and optimally trained. The plan provides for an expansion of the general medicine training network, which enables comprehensive training with the aim of health care. According to [B4B Schwaben] (https://www.b4bschwaben.de/b4b-nachrichten/guenzburg_artikel ,-land-guenzburg-Hausaerztliche-Staerken-_arid.273614.html) Health region plus, the district clinics Günzburg-Krumbach and general practitioners improve.

The focus is particularly on five times the training period structure, which offers close integration between outpatient practice and clinical experience. In a rotation plan that the clinician Dr. Joachim Durner and Dr. Peter Müller was developed in cooperation with resident doctors, prospective doctors spent 24 months in family practices and 36 months in clinics. This concept not only promises well -founded training, but also a common platform for the exchange between trainers and young doctors.

targeted promotion of young talent

A central element of this initiative is the introduction of a medical grant that targeted to promote the young family doctor. The lack of general practitioners is a big issue, especially in rural areas. Only 45,373 specialists in general medicine are active in Germany. In addition, many of them are in retirement age, which further exacerbates the situation, such as Ärzteblatt reports. Therefore, it is all the more important to increase the attractiveness of the profession.

The basics of further training as a specialist in general medicine are clear and include a total of 60 months. This includes, among other things, 12 months in internal medicine and 24 months in general care. In addition, 80 hours of further training in basic psychosomatic care are required to meet the challenges in general practitioner practice.

variety in further training

Further training offers a wide range: from internal medicine to surgery to pediatrics, prospective doctors can gain experience in various areas. Regular childcare plays an important role in pediatric care. Here the knowledge of the differences in the therapies for children and adults is of great importance. It is also recommended to gain experience in dermatology in order to be able to treat the various skin diseases competently.

The acute lack of family doctor makes it necessary for scope to be found to ensure a nationwide supply. There are efforts to take political measures to make general medicine more attractive. These include the land doctor rate and a higher weighting in the license to practice to make young doctors tasty for this important area, according to the website Hae BW.

In order to secure general care in the district of Günzburg in the long term, the cooperation of everyone involved is essential. This is the only way to ensure qualitative and sustainable health care for the population.
