Abstract

Following medical studies and licensing, the choice of a specialty represents a critical starting point for female physicians' careers in Germany. With female doctors comprising 49,2% of the total physician workforce by the end of 2023, their influence in the medical field is undeniable. This demographic shift necessitates effective career planning, as women increasingly dominate medical specialties, including 62,8% in general practice and 51,9% in internal medicine compared to surgery (26,8%).The training phase is sensitive, coinciding with personal decisions regarding partnerships, family planning, and potential relocations. A structured approach to training is essential to navigate the complexities of specialty selection while managing personal aspirations and responsibilities. Regulatory frameworks from regional medical boards outline requirements and provide opportunities for part-time training to accommodate family needs. Networking and mentorship play pivotal roles in facilitating career advancement and addressing the unique challenges faced by female physicians.Building professional networks is crucial for career development. Mentorship offers invaluable guidance, while social media facilitates broader connections within the medical community. Effective communication is a key competency, fostering trust with patients and enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration.As female physicians continue to rise in numbers and influence within Germany's medical landscape, targeted strategies for career development, including networking and effective communication, are vital. The evolving training landscape underscores the importance of supportive structures that empower women in medicine to navigate their professional journeys successfully.
