Further Education & Research
The duration of further training in cardiology (FMH cardiology) is 6 years and must be completed at recognized training centers. The 6 years are divided into 2 years of internal medicine and 4 years of specialist training. At the end of the training, a specialist examination (oral and written) must be taken.
Your future
Further training in cardiology must be completed at at least two different recognized training centers. The contact to other young and established cardiologists in Germany and abroad helps you to plan your professional future. We can put you in touch with colleagues from various training centers.

We would be happy to help you get in touch with national and international clinics and research groups.
Mediation Service for Continuing Education
Open communication between trainees and trainers is the key to successful continuing education and in the interest of both parties. However, differences may arise in everyday clinical practice, and resolving them can be challenging due to structural hierarchies. In some cases, this can lead to entrenched positions.
This is where the SSC Mediation Service comes in. Marianne Zimmerli, SSC mediator for continuing education, provides confidential advice and mediates between both parties upon request, aiming to find a mutually acceptable compromise.
