title: [Emergency and intensive care medicine as an interdisciplinary training requirement].
abstract: While substantial and practical qualification for medical practice within the framework of emergency medical services have to be proven by an advanced training, there are no special training programs for in-hospital emergency situations. As in the emergency room a transparent in-hospital emergency management has to be established including definite competencies to avoid time delays and inadequate treatment due to disputes about competence. Especially surgical intensive care medicine is an interdisciplinary task, requiring the participation of the surgeon as a responsible partner. Thus, the physician working in ICUs needs professional qualification and specialized knowledge as well as marked competence to co-operate. In any case the final clinical responsibility has to be taken over by physicians who not only have performed their internship on a ICU but are highly qualified in the whole range of intensive care medicine including all topics required in advanced intensive care medicine curricula.
