Abstract:In addition to the medical education in the Federal Republic of Germany which includes a compulsory Medical Informatics course there exists a formal program for professional qualification of physicians in Medical Informatics. After two years of clinical practice and 1.5 years of professional training at an authorized institution, a physician may receive in addition to the medical degree a “supplement Medical Informatics”. The qualification requirements are described in detail. Physicians with the additional Medical Informatics qualification perform responsible tasks in their medical domain and serve as partners for fully specialized Medical Informatics ex-’ perts in the solution of practical Medical Informatics problems. The formal qualification is available for more than 10 years, has become increasingly attractive, and is expected to grow with respect to future Medical Informatics developments.

The specialty "Medical Rehabilitation and Ergotherapy" is relatively new and not yet well known in our country, but it is one of the fastest growing professions in Europe and the world. Clinical practice is a basic element of the practical training of the students for acquiring Bachelor's degree and professional qualification "Medical rehabilitator-ergotherapist", it is held during the seven semesters, the summer practice after the fourth and the sixth semester and the pre-graduate practice in the final eighth semester of the training . Incorporating innovations into clinical practice facilitates the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competences, and also provides more comprehensive professional training for students. The aim of the present study is to improve the general and specific professional competencies of the students by introducing innovative methods in the clinical practice training. The study included 57 students in the specialty "Medical rehabilitation and ergotherapy" for the period 2017-2018. The statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS version 25. After the conducted study, 75.4% of the three studied courses are satisfied with the innovative methods of clinical practice training, 72% have perfected the specific professional competencies and 82.5% have indicated a very good and good evaluation regarding the implementation of the diagnosing children from kindergartens and acquiring professional skills.

The paper deals with the present situation of education at the academic level in Medical Informatics (or Medical Information Science, Electronic Data Processing applied to medicine and the health care service etc.) in the Federal Republic of Germany.Following some introductory remarks about definitions, tasks, and prospects, the different types of education and their availability at certain universities are described. The current capacity is about 100 graduations per year.It is estimated by the author that in future the average number of positions to be occupied by medical computer scientists will be in the order of 50 per year for the Federal Republic of Germany including Berlin (West).It is, therefore, concluded that the present capacity in regard to graduations is sufficient. More emphasis should be laid on developing and organizing curricula for further qualification as well as refresher courses for those already engaged in the field of medical informatics.

SummaryIn 1961 an increase in certain congenital malformations was noticed in various parts of the Federal Republic of Germany. From the outset, it seemed very probable that a single cause was responsible, since, although these malformations varied, they appeared to belong to one and the same syndrome. For general reasons, such causes as radioactivity, contraceptives, attempted abortions or virus diseases did not provide an acceptable explanation. The epidemiology was, however, suggestive of some chemical substance taken orally.After thalidomide had been indicated in several histories, suspicion of that drug was aroused and, within one week, intake of it could be proved or was found to be very likely in 17 out of 20 cases, while in the remaining cases it could not be excluded. Though this first result was highly significant, we were at first reluctant to incriminate thalidomide definitely, because there was still some doubt about the reliability of the histories. But within a few weeks, the thalidomide aetiology received support from many sources. Specific studies on limited material are sometimes superior to extensive, broadly planned investigations.
