| [ Summary ] |
This is an overview of the reforms of medical specialty system which have recently been proposed. Those who are certified and specialized in individual clinical areas, must acquire adequate skills. Training in specialties, certification and renewals, are evaluate analyzed to programs. Rather than by the individual medical society, new systems will be certified by a neutral third-party organization. Basic medical and specific subspecialties areas are inspected with a two stage system. The current 18 medical basic specialty areas and 29 specialty areas have been certified. All physicians have to get basic clinical practice in their areas of specialization. Then they train in their subspecialties in clinical practice after their specialties have been further subdivided. Further emphasis must be placed on training, assessment, as well as the certification process. The new organizational model must stress specialty certification and renewal. Further advances are expected in the debate about subspecialty treatment in clinical areas. Specialty certification and evaluation of training programs and facilities must all be authenticated. |
