Steckbrief

Klicke hier für die deutschsprachige Version.

For you as a foreign physician, there are two different ways to obtain a medical license in Germany: The Gleichwertigkeitsprüfung (equivalence assessment) and the Kenntnisprüfung (knowledge test).

While you wait for the results of the Gleichwertigkeitsprüfung or your date for the Kenntnisprüfung, you can practice medicine with a preliminary professional permit under certain restrictions.

Before you are able to work or apply for any examination, you need to pass the Fachsprachenprüfung (language exam).

The procedures can be quite complicated, and many documents are required. Therefore, you should get information at a counselling office prior to any application.

We developed a study plan (curriculum) for you to prepare for the Kenntnisprüfung in 40 days as best as possible.

    Medical profession in Germany

    To practice medicine in Germany, a state license called Approbation is required. German medicine students obtain this license after the successful completion of their studies by passing the third and last state examination (so-called M3-Prüfung).

    A medical degree or a professional permit from a foreign country does not automatically suffice to practice medicine in Germany.

    You find general information for foreign physicians with the wish to work in Germany on the website of the Arbeitsagentur (employment agency): https://www.arbeitsagentur.de/vor-ort/zav/download/1533755031373.pdf.

    Your way to a German medical license

    There are two ways to obtain a German medical license and be allowed to practice medicine in Germany as a foreign physician without restrictions: The Gleichwertigkeitsprüfung (equivalence assessment) and the Kenntnisprüfung (knowledge test).

    No matter which way you choose, you need to hand in your application documents (diploma, certificates etc.) translated into German. And you must pass the (language test) prior to any application.
