Medicine in Germany is currently facing major structural and economic challenges. Infectious Diseases, with the recent introduction of a new specialty in "Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases" and with the existing additional training for almost all specializations, will make an important contribution to overcoming these challenges. Expertise in infectious diseases has to be very broad and requires high interdisciplinarity, which makes infectious diseases an attractive and demanding specialty. The complex fundamentals of infectious diseases must now be quickly conveyed to as many physicians as possible in a short period of time, as part of their specialization or as additional training. Until this is achieved, transitional solutions will be necessary for some time. The adaptation of the current billing and reimbursement system for infectious diseases services and improved intersectoral cooperation are of the utmost importance for the further development of the specialty.
