Specialisation

In order to work as a doctor with a foreign qualification in Germany, a state licence is required. This can be a ‘licence to practise medicine’ or a ‘professional licence’. 

Training is legally regulated through professional medical and chamber legislation and specifically defined in the further education guidelines for physicians of the state medical associations. The guidelines are based on the example special training regulations of the German Medical Association.
