Controversial, public discussions about expert opinions have led to the fact that the criteria for the selection of experts must be transparent, including the comprehensibility of expert opinions. In view of the increasing importance of occupational dermatoses in the daily practice, clear guidelines have to be defined by a quality management. The Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Berufs- und Umweltdermatologie (ABD) has established a synopsis for the certification "Occupational Dermatology (ABD)". Prerequisites for this are:
  • Specialist title dermatology.
  • Attendance of 3 full-day certification seminars of the ABD: basic, advanced, special seminar (7 hours)
  • Order chronologically, any period of time.
  • The seminars can be completed during the specialist training. Certification takes place with the medical specialist certificate.
  • To obtain certification, participation in an ABD quality circle is planned every 5 years.
  • Certification is carried out by the German Dermatological Academy (DDA) or the State Medical Association.
