[Education, can it be done differently? A sketch of a new training structure for medical specialists].

A working group of the 'Resident Education 2025' project of the Association Medical Specialists has the task of developing a training structure for future medical specialist, which is more in line with the desired interprofessional collaboration within a network, with the right care on the right place. Responding to the required flexibility and deployment of medical specialists, also outside the intramural environment. In doing so, we want to safeguard and strengthen the enthusiasm of future and current specialists, among other things through a better work-life balance. A sketch of a training structure has been made, in which the new colleagues first broadly orientate themselves in the various options. Subsequently, by choosing a specific path (of EPAs) which can lead into a medical specialty in a more generalist sense and possibly further differentiate into a sub-specialist. Digital education is offered nationally with various themes, which can be choices in terms of subject and time at which this can be followed. This concept will be further elaborated by the working group in consultation with the various stakeholders, while also considering all obstacles that could stand in the way of this change.The working group Training structure hopes to start a discussion about a possible new training structure for the medical specialist of the future.
