Generally for the citizens from non-EU-countries, who have already completed
their medical training, it is difficult to get work permission to work
in the health instiutions in Germany. Physicians from non-EU-Countries
need the
following:
A. Residence Permit
(Aufenthaltserlaubnis)
B. Working Permit (Arbeits-
und Berufserlaubnis)
C. License to practise medicine (Approbation): The constitution of Germany gives
most government powers to its 16 constituent Bundesländer (states).
The foreign medical graduates from non-EU-States have to get the Approbation
from
the responsible state authorities (Bezirksregierung) as licensing
bodies. Some
States demand a so called Adaptationtime (Anpassungszeit) before
giving a "Approbation". In this Case the Applicants have to
work with a preliminary Professionpermit (vorläufiges
Berufserlaubnis) between 12 or 18 Months, depending from which
Country they are coming, in a Hospital. The Adaptation-Time must
be split between the departments internal medicine, surgery and a third
Specialty. The second step for doctors after getting approbation is to
register themselves with the responsible state medical
associations (Landesärztekammer). Applicants have to prove, they
have sufficient knowledge of the German
language (kleines Sprachdiplom vom Goethe Institut) .
