“I was supported every step of the way – that gave me confidence.”

Dr. Tomas from Kaunas had no experience with the German recognition procedure. docMeds helped him with his license to practice medicine, specialist language test and application - today he works in a clinic in Saxony.

"From recognition to the first service - everything went smoothly."

Nurse Ieva from Vilnius came to Germany with B2 German. docMeds assisted with her professional registration, organized communication and practical training and placed her in a hospital in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Generally recognizable as an EU degree - the formal application is still required. The FSP in the respective federal state is also required.

EU nursing qualifications are generally recognized. In the event of deviations, the authorities determine adaptation measures (e.g. training course) - we organize everything necessary.

What language skills do I need?

B2 German as standard. Doctors also require the FSP (C1 Medicine); nursing staff must provide proof of professional specialist communication.
