title: [Are subspecialties and fellowship programs in German Anesthesia required?].
abstract: Rapid progress in medical science and technique offer new complex individual treatment modalities. Distinct profile qualifications like echocardiography, electroencephalography are required for anesthesia in high risk populations (cardiovascular, pediatric and neuro surgical patients) to guarantee best patient care and outcome. Accredited subspecialties and distinct fellowship programs are required to improve medical education, training and research.
