title: [Status of radiation protection courses for physicians--plea for a change in paradigm].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acceptance of the statutory course of radiation protection, which is attended by physicians. As a first step towards problem based quality management, an anonymous questionnaire was used to assess the participants' opinions. The present methods in teaching, practice-orientation of the educational objectives, the prize and efficiency of the course were judged poor. Neither valid indicators of quality nor a quality management of the course exists. Facing the status quo and future demands within the medical community and society there is a serious need for reshaping radiology. It is emphasized that instead of marginal corrections only a strategic and fundamental approach to a paradigmatic reorganization will meet success.
