There are thousands of vacant positions in Germany and Switzerland at the moment for medical professionals. This may not last for long. So once you decide on this pathway, you have to act fast and move quickly- or someone else will have taken your position.
14 years ago, I remember sitting in my tiny room in India, completely broke dreaming of a life in Switzerland. Now all these years later, I am living my dream life in Switzerland after living 12 wonderful years in Germany (a country I miss very much). You can too- if you follow exactly what I tell you. I had nobody to guide me. Luckily you have me, somebody who has negotiated this pathway and has helped hundreds of medical professionals achieve their dreams.
About Me:
If you’re new to my channel, my name is Dr Ganz. I am a senior consultant radiologist as well as a consultant surgeon, working in Switzerland since 3 years. I worked in Germany 11 years as an interventional radiologist and an abdominal surgeon having done stints in urology, plastic surgery and vascular surgery.
Unlike most other TH-camrs or so called agents, I have real world experience in the German speaking world(especially Germany and Switzerland ) and in the medical system in particular, as I have worked in 12 of the 16 states of Germany as well as in Switzerland and know the day to day life as well as the ins and outs of the German medical system. I also love German culture,history and society and Iam well read and well-versed in these topics as well.
Since anyone can claim anything on TH-cam these days, here’s a summary of my experience:
2000-2006: Medical Under-graduation in India.
2006-2010: Post-Graduate training in General surgery
2010-2011: Assistant Professor of surgery in India.
2011: learnt German and moved to Germany
2011-2014: training in abdominal surgery, liver transplant, vascular surgery, plastic surgery and urology.
2014: Consultant surgeon in Germany
2014-2019: Residency training in diagnostic and interventional radiology in Germany
2019-2021: Consultant diagnostic and interventional radiologist in southern Germany.
2021: Moved to Switzerland as a consultant Radiologist.
2021-2024: Consultant diagnostic and interventional radiologist in central Switzerland.
2024: Promoted to Senior consultant (Leitender Arzt) in Switzerland.
To all those starting this Journey, I say this: If someone like me and thousands like me could do it, so can you. Just follow what I say and do exactly as I say and you will have a wonderful, dream life in a wonderful society to pursue your dreams and passions or to raise a beautiful family. I thank my younger self every single day for having the fortitude to stick with the pathway with nobody guiding me. Luckily you have ME! ;)
The more difficult the path, more satisfying the result. Never quit and keep at it. Don’t listen to naysayers or people discouraging you.
Don’t give up on your dreams!
Dr Ganz
Sir can you please make a video like this on Luxembourg ? Thank you
i am raamesh 19 year ol giving neet ug and it is reaally helpful sir thankyou
This video is unnecessary for you
@@Ram-yn3b This comment is unnecessary
He didn't even clear the exam for getting an admission in med school and he's searching about how to settle in switzerland. I don't know in what way this video is helpful for him in his current scenario?
Maybe you might say he's planning for the future, but do you think you are doing the thing which you planned when you were 19 yo?
Thanks for such an informative video. Will follow your guidance to get work in Switzerland.
That is inconsiderate, nobody asked for your opinion. I think his hair looks great!

I have EU citizenship my trainng residency was recognized in Spain , where I have been working for 18 years Now I have strated studying german and looking forward toward moving to Germany or Switzerland. Kind regards, Manuel
Thank you so much for your video; i found it very useful. I am an Australian trained GP and have been working as a GP in Australia for the past 28 years. I am married to a Swiss citizen and am interested in working as a GP (in Geneva). I am studying French (I’m at level A2 so far). Where do I start the process? Where are GP jobs advertised?
Why you want to leave Australia
Did you manage to find work as a GP. I plan to do something similar after finishing my GP training in UK.
I have a European medical degree aswell as a European passport. I wonder if direct transition will be possible
Hey! I'm not really sure there is a shortage of doctors in Switzerland. I've done multiple internships there and have a couple more to go and from my experience it's extremely competitive and that even for Swiss or EU graduates. The only uncompetitive specialties might be psychiatry and internal at a stretch. What concretely makes you say there is a shortage of doctors in Switzerland?
Yeah i don't understand why some physician youtubers do this. Just fake hope. Same with youtubers saying the NHS in UK lacking doctors. I've been applying every single day for 3 months there as well, with all the necessary requirements for a junior doctor post but to no avail.
@@shrnschn5236 Exactly! My opinion is that matching into a residency in Switzerland is kind of like matching into residency in the US in the sense that unless you've been preparing for it during the last couple of years you'll most probably be out of luck. Obviously this changes once you're an attending but still the video seems to paint a much more positive picture than the reality.
I got to know Swiss or German residents who already have perfect language skills who had to wait multiple years to match into specialties that are not that competitive abroad like cards or gastroenterology.
Unless you know what you're getting yourself into and have a plan, Switzerland might even be a bad option. I've also spoken to a recruitment agent who told me she's seen CVs of foreign doctors who've been working in Switzerland for more than 7 years and still aren't board-certified and remarked that with frequently changing jobs their CVs looked like a catastrophe.
Obviously it's doable but not mentioning that one needs perfect German skills and that there's also Swiss German one needs to understand PLUS ideally one more national language (French) and even then you need to be competitive enough feels like low-key deception or cluelessness.
@@Peter-jx6qq I wouldn't say its competitive as residency in the US, Canada, Australia or the UK. For most cantons in Switzerland, knowing only one language (German or French or Italian is enough).
As an EU medical graduate, you don't have to do any entrance exam like USMLE, AMC etc. The medical chamber directly recognises your EU degree and you can apply to any hospitals you want.
Non-Swiss graduates should just be careful not to apply for residency at the same time of the year when the Swiss medical students are applying (usually 3-4 years in advance). The latter have priority. But 1-2 months before the start of the residency the Swiss students drop out of the many unnecessary residency posts they have reserved in application. That's when it's possible for foreigners* to apply. So it depends on luck. I have europeans friends who applied in both the french and german cantons and they could start working after 2-3 months because they applied at the right time.
By foreigners* btw, i mean EU/EEA citizens. That's a big requirement. Despite having an EU medical degree, since I dont have an EU citizenship, the Swiss medical board will not recognise my degree.😑
@@shrnschn5236 well, you're probably talking about internal or psychiatry which is where it's not super competitive and you can almost always find a job
I met multiple Swiss or European residents who had to wait for their desired residency for at least a couple of years.
@@Peter-jx6qq 2 of my friends got into Trauma and Orthopedics/ orthopedic surgery. 1 got Ophthalmo and the other one got psychiatry.
As long as you apply to small hospitals at the appropriate time (i think it's called Group C hospitals), you can get most specialties. Once you are there you can already start applying to big university hospitals Group A for which you will have to wait few years for a vacancy.
I agree that only 1 year in group C hospitals can be counted as residency training even if you do more years there. But at least you are not jobless.
Many Swiss or european medical graduates don't apply to small hospitals in small towns because they only like living in cities.
I have a Polish Medical Degree, Goethe B2 German, and German Permanent Residence but I am a US citizen. Do you think a Direct Anerkennung is possible?
Can NHS doctors work in Switzerland?
What's the answer?
Thank you so much for this video! Very informative! What do you think of the federal diploma path and how realistic is it?
Thank you! It is hard to find information on Switzerland online, maybe because few people have done it.
I recently graduated from a non-EU country. I can either go to France (faster process) or Germany (longer process) to have my degree recognized and work there before applying to Switzerland.
Do you know non-EU graduates who came to Switzerland through France pathway?
I am so grateful I found your channel today!
Hi mina how are you ? I am also like you and choosed Framce for faster process..but i am wondering if you are doing the same process as me ; which is the DFMS program (ffi )..?
Hello, Have a nice day. It's good to see your comment. I've found lots of ways to become a doctor in EU. Could you tell me the way you choose to go to France. Which is the PACES or PAE,...
Thanks for the information Dr! Can you please explain the procedure for a non EU citizen with an EU medical MD degree (with license to practice in few european countries already)? Because I contacted MEBEKO about it, and they told me that even though my EU MD is recognised in european countries+GMC(UK), MEBEKO won't recognised it simply because I'm not an EU/EEA citizen.
Then how come are you saying that just the process of someone getting their non-EU degree recognised in an EU country, allows them to practice in Switzerland?
Sir when u say country outside eu means if I have Portuguese passport it’s ok for me right ?
Thanks allot Dear respected brother ❤️
We are interested for Switzerland...

Hi Mr. Doctor, I am a medical student in Turkey and I am looking to work in a European country in the future.

My English is enough to write this comment. Is it hard do learn German for me or anybody. Can you make a video about theese questions. Thank you.

I am currently doing my house surgency after completing MBBS in India. I am exploring the possibilities of working in Switzerland. I wish to do a post graduation as well but not right away.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
