APPROBATION
Your path to approbation in Germany
Approbation is the crucial step to be allowed to work as a doctor in Germany. It not only provides access to the healthcare system but is also a prerequisite for a long-term career in a hospital or practice.
Why is approbation so important?
No medical practice without approbation – this clearly summarizes the situation for international medical professionals. They need official recognition to work legally and officially.
What many applicants underestimate
The approbation process can quickly be delayed if documents are missing, translations are incomplete, or country-specific requirements are not known. This is exactly where many fail.
What you should consider
- The responsibility lies with the respective federal state
- Medical education and language skills are assessed
- An expert opinion on equivalence is required
- The procedure differs for EU and non-EU degrees
❗ Many applications fail due to details that could easily be avoided – those who act on their own here risk months of delay.
docMeds guides you step by step through this process – so you can focus on what really matters: your medical career.
