Hello! A quick question :
If someone has completed his PG training in a speciality (e.g orthopedic surgery) in a non-EU country, completed his language and now wants to practice orthopedics in Germany. Would his qualification as an orthopedic surgeon be accepted or that he will have to start from scratch?
Is there any alternative pathway that would save one from training here in Germany allover again from the start?
A friend of mine is doing MD pathology from a government college in India, currently in 1st yr now.. Is it worth leaving it now by paying 25lac bond fee here and taking germany pathway from the beginning. Haven't done german language yet.. Or should complete MD patho den apply for Approbation in germany to enter oncopatho or wat options r there. Kindly give ideas. TIA
I am 3rd yr medical student from india. I have started taking classes of A1. Can anyone tell me if i should commit to german totally considering the situation of img from non eu countries regarding jobs.
How hard it is to be assistenarzt in radiologie?
What are the steps to follow to build a competitive profile?
Ich bin ein ausländischer Arzt aus einem Drittstaat und hab schon die FSP bestanden. Ich verstehe, dass die Sprache bei der Einstellung eine gewisse Hürde sein kann. Trotzdem kann ich relativ gut Deutsch.
Meine Frage : macht es überhaupt einen Unterschied, wenn ich mich bei der Bewerbung persönlich vor Ort vorstelle und meine Unterlagen abgebe? oder bleiben meine Chancen gleich bei einer Onlinebewerbung?
Hi, I'm a final year medical student from India considering moving abroad after my MBBS from India.
I find myself in a pickle to choose between the US and Germany.
As far as I understand, the US system is very competitive and even after all the work put in it's a probability that I might or might not get in (given that connections and preference to their own has risen and also the visa issues). Germany, I know and understand that the language is not easy and it will take effort as well almost like trying to read all my clinical subjects in a whole new language.
I did father a vague idea of what the process looks on the surface for Germany but I'd like more insights from people who have gone through this and could help a fellow aspirant.
Is it worth all the hustle?
The pay is decent enough is what I've heard. What's your take on this?
How long does it actually take to actually start residency or practice?
If I start languages now( final year) and obtain certifications over the next 3 years, would that be a practical plan?
The thing is, I am not able to get things straight in my mind while this confusion eats me up. I want to have a goal at least now so I don't feel all lost.
All help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!!!!!
Hi everyone!
I'm a doctor from Morocco moving to Augsburg in early November 2026 to attend a full-time medical German course (C1, Mon–Fri mornings) at BBZ Augsburg. After that I want to work as a doctor in Germany.
I'm looking for:
• a furnished studio / 1-room flat, or a room in a quiet WG
• from \~1 Nov 2026 (flexible, I'm travelling from abroad)
• at least 6 months, longer is fine
• up to €550 warm (all costs included)
• ideally near the BBZ (Peter-Henlein-Str., 86199) or well connected by tram/bus
About me: non-smoker, no pets, quiet, tidy and reliable. I speak German (B2), French, Arabic and English.
I'm also happy to get tips (agencies, sublets, local groups). Please send me a DM
Thank you!
