The acquisition of a medical professorship represents a significant step in a physician's academic career. The responsibility as well as the honor and the associated obligations are significant; however, the requirements to become a medical professor vary in Germany.
We analyzed the variable requirements for prospective medical professors in Germany, with special focus on the tenure track concept and the U.S. system.
Based on an online research, we queried German medical faculty regulations to obtain a medical professorship within Germany.
We analyzed 35 German universities. On average, 11 publications are required after "venia legendi" to meet professorship (apl) prerequisites (median x̅ = 10, max = 24, min = 6, n = 16), whereas 6 publications with first or last authorship are required on average (x̅ = 6, max = 16, min = 4, n = 26). In most German universities, it takes an average of 4 years after gaining habilitation to apply for a professorship (x̅ = 5 years, max = 6 years, min = 2 years). Candidates for university chair positions, however, can shorten this period by an average of 38%.
In the German academic system, the prerequisites to gain a professorship differ among universities. Due to different scientific cooperation and exchange programs, research and academic activities have reached an intense international exchange level. Yet there is no international or even national standardization, quality assurance, and comparability to gain a medical professorship.
获得医学教授职位是医生学术生涯中的重要一步。其责任、荣誉及相关义务重大；然而，在德国成为医学教授的要求各不相同。
我们分析了德国未来医学教授的不同要求，特别关注终身教职概念和美国体系。
基于在线研究，我们查询了德国医学院校规定以获取在德担任医学教授职位的要求。
我们分析了35所德国大学。平均而言，获得“授课资格”后需要11篇论文才能满足教授职位（apl）的先决条件（中位数x̅ = 10，最大值 = 24，最小值 = 6，n = 16），而平均需要6篇以第一作者或最后作者身份发表的论文（x̅ = 6，最大值 = 16，最小值 = 4，n = 26）。在大多数德国大学，获得教授资格后平均需要4年才能申请教授职位（x̅ = 5年，最大值 = 6年，最小值 = 2年）。然而，大学主席职位的候选人可以将这段时间平均缩短38%。
在德国学术体系中，各大学获得教授职位的先决条件不同。由于不同的科研合作与交流项目，研究和学术活动已达到紧密的国际交流水平。然而，在获得医学教授职位方面，没有国际甚至国家标准化、质量保证和可比性。
