“…With demographic change, the German health care system is faced with the task of providing medical care of at least the same quality in the face of increasingly multimorbid patients on the one hand and a growing scarcity of resources in the form of a shrinking number of contributors on the other [ 1 ]. This is aggravated by a significant shortage of physicians and specialists in many medical fields, which could challenge the provision of comprehensive care in the future, especially in rural regions.…”

The German healthcare system is facing a major transformation towards digitalized medicine. The aim was to find out the attitude and the degree of preparation of upcoming medical professionals for digital medicine. By means of an online survey, medical students from 38 German faculties were asked about different topics concerning digitalization. Most students (70.0%) indicated that they had not had any university courses on digital topics. Thus, only 22.2% feel prepared for the technical reality of digitalized medicine. Most fear losing patient contact because of digitalized medicine and assume that the medical profession will not be endangered by digitalization. Security systems, data protection, infrastructure and inadequate training are cited as the top problems of digitalization in medicine. Medical students have major concerns about incorrect decisions and the consecutive medicolegal aspects of using digital support as part their treatment plans. Digitalization in medicine is progressing faster than it can currently be implemented in the practical work. The generations involved have different understandings of technology, and there is a lack of curricular training in medical schools. There must be a significant improvement in training in digital medical skills so that the current and future healthcare professionals are better prepared for digitalized medicine.

“…Zudem sind die Erwartungen an die Gesundheitsversorgung aus Sicht der Patient*innen, Angehörigen und der Gesellschaft gestiegen [13]. Weitere Herausforderungen, denen sich die Physiotherapie stellen muss, sind der technologische Fortschritt in der Medizin, die digitale Transformation der Gesellschaft und die Anforderungen an die Qualität von Gesundheitsleistungen von der Politik [14]. Im Hinblick auf die Herausforderungen im Gesundheitssystem sowie der gesellschaftlichen und politischen Veränderungen ist Professionsentwicklung unabdingbar, damit Physiotherapeut*innen auf die jeweiligen Bedürfnisse ausgerichtete Leistungen mit hoher Qualität und entsprechend der WZW-Kriterien (Wirksamkeit, Zweckmäßigkeit, Wirtschaftlichkeit) erbringen können.…”
