Warum ist Anatomie ein medizinisches Fachgebiet in Deutschland?

[DNIM]

Hi dear doctors

Could you please explain why Anatomy (or Biochemistry and Physiology) are considered as medical specialties (and not PhDs) in Germany? Is there any way that you can study Anatomy in English in Germany?


Vielen Dank in advance!

You can study Biochemistry and Physiology as Bachelor/Master in Germany (consecutively getting a PhD-Degree if you so desire). The "Facharzt für Anatomie", together with the "Facharzt für Biochemie" and "Facharzt für Anatomie" is an organizational necessity because each institute in the medical faculty has to have at least one doctor (as in Arzt). At least, that's what I've been told...

and you are able to be a "Facharzt für Anatomie", if you finish med-school and then work at an unversity-institute.

Thank you for your answers. But why is it an organizational necessity? What is the rationale behind it? What does an MD anatomist do that a PhD anatomist is not able to do? Why should you know German language when you're not doing clinical practice?

Why should you know German language when you're not doing clinical practice?

Because most people would consider it rude to live and work in a country without at least trying to speak it's language?
