[Competence-oriented specialist training in dermatology].

The new M WBO (Musterweiterbildungsordnung) has been developed for 6 years and will be put into force by most LÄK (Landesärztekammern) on 01.07.2020. Future training to become a dermatologist is competency-based. This is to enable observable, successful problem solving in practice. Thus, the acquisition of competence is only dependent on whether the goal has been achieved. New procedures are required to determine achievement of the respective competencies, including annual continuing education interviews, workplace-based examinations, and an eLogbuch (electronic logbook). Minimum inpatient periods will be eliminated in the future. In principle, continuing education can take place entirely on an outpatient basis. The M WBO Dermatology comprises 14 thematic blocks with differentiated description of cognitive and methodological or action competencies. The guideline numbers of dermatological additional training courses have been shifted considerably into the period of basic training. Additional training courses can be acquired while working. Fachlich empfohlene Weiterbildungspläne (FEWP) are the concrete implementation regulations of the M WBO. They are not part of the WBO and can be adapted. In connection with this new approach, numerous questions are currently still open, such as documentation in practice or financing.
