The senior staff doctor is one of the ranks of the Bundeswehr and former German armed forces. Staff physicians are medical officers with a license to practice as a doctor or dentist . The rank of senior doctor is determined by the Federal President with the order of the Federal President on the rank designations and the uniform of the soldiers on the basis of the Soldiers Act .

Positions

In principle, senior staff doctors , like staff doctors, are deployed as troop doctors or ship doctors or as specialists (sometimes as assistant doctors ) in a Bundeswehr hospital. Senior staff physicians are often also leaders of a group of doctors . Sometimes they also run a medical company (in a non- practicing capacity ) as a company commander . Like all staff officers , senior staff doctors also serve in staff departments and units of the authorities, offices, command authorities of all military organizational areas (primarily in the central medical service ) and in the ministry , where they deal with specialist medical questions.

Appointment and remuneration

The decisive legal basis for the appointment as senior staff doctor is met by the Soldiers' Career Ordinance (SLV) and, in addition, the Central Service Regulations (ZDv) 20/7. Temporary soldiers , professional soldiers and appointed reservists can be appointed to the rank of senior medical officer. Prerequisite is the membership of one of the runways for medical officers and the approval as a doctor or dentist . The rank can be achieved at the earliest two years after appointment as medical officer. Employment with the rank of senior medical officer is also possible with a qualification that corresponds to the assignment .

A senior staff doctor is paid A 14 according to the federal salary regulations (BBesO) . Medical officers of this rank receive a higher salary than majors or corvette captains of the same rank .

history

With the second copy of the Federal President's order on the rank designations, the appointment and dismissal as well as the uniform of the volunteer soldiers of February 1, 1956, the rank of senior medical officer was newly created for air force and army officers. Corresponding medical officers of the Navy led the rank of naval chief medical officer, which was created at the same time . The rank of naval chief medical officer ceased to exist with the sixth order of the Federal President on the rank designations and the uniform of soldiers from May 5, 1966. Since then, corresponding naval uniform wearers have also carried the rank of chief medical officer.

Others

With regard to the authority to give orders within the meaning of the Superiors Ordinance and the Military Disciplinary Code , with regard to equivalent, subordinate and superior ranks within the meaning of ZDv 14/5, senior staff physicians are also treated as major . When it comes to medical issues, in particular, medical officers are often the superiors of higher-ranking soldiers. In the following the Soldatenlaufbahnverordnung and ZDv 20/7 regularly continuous conveyance order of the foregoing the upper medical grade is Stabsarzt and the subsequent rank of Oberfeldarzt or flotilla surgeon (first grade designation for military and air Uniform; second for Marine Uniform).
