This new form of practice is being discussed critically, especially when run by investors. This study analyzes the opinions and attitudes towards ZMVZ of dentists practicing in Germany, focusing on age and gender differences in dentists' attitudes as well as different aspects of working for a ZMVZ.A total of 937 dentists throughout Germany (63% female, aged 23 to 77 years) were asked in an online survey via the LimeSurvey platform conducted in 2021/2022 about their attitudes towards ZMVZ, readiness to work in one of them and whether there was a basic willingness to change their workplace; 575 of these questionnaires were available for analysis.The critical view of ZMVZ, especially management by investors, was shared by most of the respondents. There were differences between the age groups. Younger respondents were more in favor of management by specialist colleagues, while older respondents had a more positive attitude towards investor-run ZMVZ. The oldest respondents also tended to agree with the statement that the ZMVZ would replace the traditional practice. In general, practitioners feared that they would not be able to practice freely. However, one-third of the surveyed dentists who were considering a job change could imagine working in a ZMVZ.This study provides an insight into the attitudes of practicing dentists towards ZMVZ as well as their willingness to work in one. Since the ZMVZ are becoming increasingly important, while at the same time are subject to debate, the present overview of the advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of those working in practice should help in clarifying the issues involved. They also demonstrate that, despite all the criticism, there are positive aspects, and a significant proportion of those surveyed could imagine working in a ZMVZ. Since the ZMVZ have become a relevant part of the dental care system, it is important to identify problems and potential areas for development in order to improve care of dental patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":47653,"journal":{"name":"Gesundheitswesen","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143626464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The implementation of effective network moderation and delivery of high-quality network activities can enhance the reach of RHPCNs.

In the next few years, foreign-born and -trained physicians will presumably be increasingly active also in the field of family medicine. The aim of this study was to explore experiences, support needs and possible improvements from the perspective of such physicians in the outpatient sector with a focus on primary care.Method In this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with physicians not raised and trained in Germany and working in the outpatient setting in Germany. The evaluation was carried out by means of qualitative content analysis. Categories were derived in a deductive-inductive manner.Results Thirteen physicians (of which nine were primary care physicians) were interviewed. Next to the deductively derived main categories (departure, des-orientation, adaptation) four subcategories as overarching problems emerged in the interviews: Administrative tasks, communication and professional as well as social adaptation / integration in Germany. Proposed solutions were categorized in structuring measures (official, easily accessible guidelines for physician migration, paid qualification period), specific preparatory courses for the outpatient sector, and personal support such as mentoring and networking of outpatient physicians in training.Conclusions Some of the problem areas mentioned were similar to those known from the inpatient setting. To support sustainable recruitment in the outpatient sector, specific preparatory courses and the promotion of networking among physicians appeared to be additional measures that would benefit physicians applying for positions in the outpatient sector and also easy to implement.</p>","PeriodicalId":47653,"journal":{"name":"Gesundheitswesen","volume":" ","pages":"174-178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141856794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
