Abstract
From the perspective of German scientific societies and associations, a consensus has now been reached with the German statutory accident insurance on the modularity in requirements on authorised medical examiners in the future. The basis is formed by the specialty in orthopedics and trauma surgery, complemented by an additional year (following specialist medical examination) at a center authorized in injury typing procedures. Additional courses on medical care management, expert opinions and rehabilitation are also included. For medical examiners who also operate, the regulations for specialists in orthopedics and trauma surgery, followed by additional further training in special trauma surgery, remain valid. Three additional years at an authorized injury-typing-procedure center are required for medical examiners specialized in injury typing procedures, An additional trauma network SGB (German Social Code) VII will be developed in synergy with the Traumanetzwerk D (trauma network) which already exists under the auspices of the German Society of Trauma Surgery. In general, regional trauma centers will be authorized to perform injury typing procedures and vice versa. Centers certified as national trauma centers are in principle able to assume the role of a trauma center in the SGB VII network.
