Postgraduate Medical Education
The MedBG contains the following definition: “Postgraduate medical education increases competence and specialization in the corresponding field.”
The Federal Law on Medical Professions (MedBG) dated June 23, 2006, prescribes accreditation for those degree programs that lead to a federal diploma. This refers to programs in human medicine and dentistry, as well as chiropractics.
The accreditation process has been in progress since 2009 and will be completed in 2011.
