Hanover (dpa / lni) - Lower Saxony's Minister of Science Björn Thümler (CDU) has taken the opposite course to Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) on reform plans for medical training.
«The amendment should be a great success for better medical education.
The present draft bill turns out to be the exact opposite, ”said Thümler in an interview with the daily newspaper“ Weser-Kurier ”(Saturday).
The license to practice medicine currently has 44 paragraphs plus appendices; in the future there should be 183.
"That means an excessive volume of regulations and bureaucracy," warned the CDU politician.
The innovations announced by the Federal Ministry of Health are not in the draft.
Pilot projects and new study models are no longer permitted there.
That hits the University of Oldenburg and the Hannover Medical School particularly hard.
Should the draft come through, Thümler fears an explosion in the costs of the course.
“A single university place would be up to 20 percent more expensive.
For Lower Saxony alone this would mean that we would have to raise between 35 and 40 million euros annually in order to maintain our current level. "
Or you have to cut university places.
"That could be described as schizophrenic," said the minister.
He pointed out that there had only recently been talk in Berlin government circles of creating 5,000 more study places.
