Gegenstandkatalog der DGMSR (in Bearbeitung)

Das DGMSR-Diplom orientiert sich am Gegenstandskatalog der Europäischen Gesellschaft für Radiologie (Level II Training Programme for Musculoskeletal Radiology, siehe https://www.myesr.org/education/training-curricula), formuliert von der ESSR (Europäische Gesellschaft für MSK-Radiologie). Die Inhalte für die muskuloskelettale Radiologie sind zur Orientierung beigefügt. Eine deutsche Version ist in Arbeit.

Was zeichnet einen Subspezialisten in MSK Radiologie aus? Die ESR hat ein Gesamtkonzept aus “Knowledge, Skills, Competences and Attitudes” entwickelt. Während “Wissen” und “Fähigkeiten” den gängigen Mustern einer Ausbildung folgen, sind “Competences und Attitudes” vielleicht am besten als “Verständnis und Lösung der jeweiligen medizinischen Situation” zu übersetzen und einzuordnen.

Das Renewal gilt ab 2025 für alle Inhaberinnen und Inhaber eines Qualitätssiegels (Diplom & Experte). Da die Einführung für das Renewal der 01.05.2025 ist, fängt für alle, die das Siegel vorher erworben haben, die Zeitrechnung zu diesem Datum an. Das heißt, Sie müssen die erforderlichen jährlichen 20 CME-Punkte aus dem Zeitraum 05/2025 – 05/2030 bis zum 30.04.2030 vorlegen.
