Abstract
in English, German

This article focuses on the training situation of rheumatologists from the perspective of trainers regarding the existing and potentially increasing deficits of specialists for internal medicine and rheumatology. According to the new regulations defining the rheumatologist training, a substantial part of the training schedule is required to be completed in a hospital setting in order to become a specialist rheumatologist. In this context, the increased training capacity necessitates additional hospital training positions. In addition, the rheumatology residents desire a structured training program. Significantly, the work-life balance is an important factor to make working as a specialist for internal medicine and rheumatology more attractive.

Aufgrund des vorhandenen und des potenziell zunehmenden Defizits an Fachärzten für Innere Medizin und Rheumatologie wird in diesem Beitrag eine Betrachtung der Weiterbildungssituation aus Sicht der Weiterbilder vorgenommen. Unter Berücksichtigung der neuen Weiterbildungsordnung ist eine stationäre Weiterbildung zur Erlangung des Facharztes unabdingbar. Eine Erhöhung der Ausbildungskapazität setzt somit den Ausbau der stationären Ausbildungsstellen voraus. Vonseiten der Weiterbildungsassistenten wird eine strukturierte Weiterbildung gefordert. Zusätzlich stellt die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf einen wichtigen Faktor zur Erhöhung der Attraktivität der Tätigkeit als Facharzt für Innere Medizin und Rheumatologie dar.

Keywords: Place of training; Resident; Specialist training; Specialist training regulations; Training positions.
