The Saxon Chamber of Physicians is trying various pragmatic measures and to strengthen the back of doctors and to alleviate the shortage of doctors.
There was no trace of nostalgia at the 20th Saxon Doctors' Day on June 18 and 19 in Dresden. On the contrary: the Saxon doctors looked to the future and discussed the training and further education of the future generation of doctors.
In order to counteract the shortage of doctors in Saxony, the doctors' parliament decided to give the youngsters financial one Grant advantage. For example, doctors who take specialist examination at the Saxon State Medical Association for the first time after completing their training no longer have to pay fee from July onwards. "With this change in fees I want to set an example for the young doctors and encourage them to complete their advanced training in Saxony and also to take their exams here", explained Prof. Dr. med. Jan Schulze, President of the Saxon State Medical Association.
This measure is part of the structural improvements that the Saxon medical community has been trying to attract and retain young talent for several years. Since 2005 information events have been held for graduates of the medical faculties in Leipzig and Dresden; Last year the network and the coordination office “Doctors for Saxony” were established.
In order to eliminate deficits within further training in Saxony, the State Medical Association examined these with survey of those authorized to continue training last year. "From 2011, however, we will also take part in the nationwide project, Evaluation of Further Education‘ of the German Medical Association, so that comparison of the quality of further education between all federal states and over the years will be possible, "the President told the Deutsches Ärzteblatt.
The Saxon Doctors' Day also wants to achieve improvements for medical students. Among other things, he demands that the regulations in the license to practice medicine be changed and that the practical year (PJ) be made more attractive and more practical. FY students should be able to work in all qualified hospitals, including those without teaching hospital status. “It is time to heed the call from the students for access to the supply hospitals to be opened up in the final year,” emphasized Schulze.

The resulting demotivation and demoralization are often cited as reason for migrating to non-medical activities or abroad, he explained.
The Sächsische Ärztetag also sees need for changes in the access criteria for the allocation of study places at the medical faculties. The delegates want internships completed or completed medical professional training to be taken into account to much greater extent in the selection of medical students before the start of their studies. However, they reject the abolition of the numerus clausus. "The shortage of doctors is not related to the admission practice for the course and the drop-out rate," said Prof. Dr. med. Christoph Baerwald klar, dean of human medicine at the University of Leipzig. On the contrary: The dropout rate in medicine has been in the particularly low range for years compared to other courses.
In the meantime, 23 of 35 medical faculties in Germany have their own selection process, reported Prof. Dr. Peter Dieter, former dean of human medicine at the Technical University of Dresden. In his opinion, combination of high school diploma, criteria for academic success and criteria for professional success must be decisive, according to which the universities can base their selection.
