Comments from FinlandComments from Finland
� A GP cannot choose to care or not to care for children. A GP treats everyone who enters the clinic.
� And for specialist training to be a GP, all have a rotation in a healthy baby clinic and in a pregnancy clinic in communities. clinic in communities.
� Additionally most choose a voluntary rotation of pediatrics and ObGyn in a hospital setting.
� But: the social and health reform threatens this system: in future the GPs will probably not care for pregnant moms AND the children. We shall see how it goes.

Comments from SwitzerlandComments from Switzerland
� A few years ago, the specialties of General Practice and Internal Medicine have merged to be General Internal Medicine.
� Three years of Internal Medicine in hospital are mandatory, two years are optional, with a vast choice.
� Training in Pediatrics is optional, usually in hospital setting.
� Many older GP’s have been trained in Pediatrics, a few in ObGyn.
� In many rural places, GPs care for healthy children’s vaccinations and minor ailments.
� The trend is towards pediatricians caring for kids…
� The only subspecialty in General Internal Medicine is Geriatrics. Endocrinology, Emergency Medicine, Infectiology are separate specialties.

Questions concerning the future
of Family Medicine
Should Curricula of Specialty Training undergo standardization concerning the training in pediatrics and ObGyn?
Are different European countries developing different policies concerning these fields?policies concerning these fields?
Are patients , parents and some market forces influencing the scope and boundaries of Family Medicine?
If Family Physicians take sub-specialties , is it in order to counteract professional burning out or improve their status?
