[Medical leadership competency]. 
With all these changes in health care systems the physicians' professional duties are about to undergo changes as well.  Especially economic, administrative and legal aspects are becoming more and more important in medical care.  In order to take responsibility with respect to leadership aspects a profound professionalisation is required.  The Curriculum Medical Leadership edited by the German Medical Association provides an extensive example of a framework for continuing professional development (CPD) courses in medical leadership.
