title: [Initial experiences with the new environmental medicine course in graduate education].
abstract: The "master of environmental medicine" is a new medical subspeciality in Germany. Specialised physicians can qualify for it, if they have spent at least an additional period of 1.5 years at a recognized institution in the field. Furthermore the attendance of a 200 hours comprehensive specialist's training course is required. Preliminary experience with this comprehensive course, as offered by our institution (Academy of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Berlin, Germany) is lined out. Additionally, details of the curriculum, which was specifically designed for this purpose by our institution, are given. The results of an evaluation-procedure (questionnaire) among those participants, who completed the first parts of the course, are discussed.
