Education
The German situation
Berlin, Germany
Over the past century, education in sports medicine and exercise physiology in Germany has undergone various modifications. Furthermore, the reunification of the country over the last decade has caused political and economic changes resulting in fundamental and continuing changes in education and in the professions of general doctors, clinically orientated specialists, and basic and applied scientists in the field of sports medicine and exercise physiology. Currently, doctors in Germany do not have the opportunity to specialise in sports medicine. However, the introduction of such professional training is continuously being discussed. Every fully trained doctor can acquire additional certification in sports medicine. This consists of a course of 120 lessons on theory and practice in sports medicine, including basics and special aspects such as children, top level sports, prevention of injury and rehabilitation, psychology, movement science, biomechanics, and pedagogics, plus 120 lessons on the theory and practice of sports and exercise,
