Abstract

The current reform process of Germany's public health system has opened a window of opportunity for strengthening this field in research, policy and practice in Germany. The present article discusses challenges and necessary measures from the perspective of young professionals. The authors argue that public health education and training in Germany needs to be strengthened and reformed. Moreover, Germany's public health community must create and strengthen structures and processes needed to make its voice heard more strongly in politics and society, including an effective professional organization. Discussions on these challenges have begun in a number of fora and should be translated into concrete actions soon.
