title: [Graduate Medical Education in intensive care medicine - How can the European concept be integrated in Germany?].
abstract: Within the European Union, medical disciplines also have been organized. At the European level, the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes (UEMS) currently represents the interests of 42 medical disciplines and offers support to doctors to work in any European country. For this purpose, guidelines were adopted already in 2005, which, among others, regulate automatic recognition of professional qualifications. This does not apply to intensive care medicine, since in most European countri in the guidelines as a "special competence". For this purpose, a multidisciplinary joint committee of the UEMS formulated the so-called "European Training Requirements" (ETR), the aim of which was to raise the professional skills of European doctors working in the field of intensive care to a uniformly high level. The ETR are currently in the process of being voted upon. As things stand, additional training in intensive care medicine in Germany as currently practised would meet the conditions and requirements of the ETR.
