How competitive is to get internal medicine resident as IMG in Germany?

[@user-ei7tg6yn5d]

Which region is the approbation process easiest/shortest in in your opinion :)?

[@ScholasticaEmmanuel-lv2dm]

Do you have to study masters in internal before specialising like doing cardiology

[@storyofdoctor]

I think this is nice video !

[@asifuddeen1237]

How is the dermatology pathway...is it very difficult to get...hww many yrs of internal medicine training is there in dermatology if it's necessary

[@marilynkh3277]

Hello ! Thank you for your videos ! Can you please list the job agencies you applied to? Thank you 😊

[@igormagalhaes5350]

so there is no test in order to get into residency program? you just get the job and you start the residency? Considering that someone wants to become an ophthalmologist, what should he do?

[@Asifkhan-li1lt]

hi Mam i am 4th year medical student when i complete my study then i will go to germany what the procedure please. tell me

[@menthepoivree6526]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! I plan on pursuing a surgical specialty, probably very competitive as usual but I´m curious on just how competitive? Do you have any info/data to share on the different specialties maybe? I will start working back home soon and need to save money to live in germany until I get a job but I am so unsure on how long that would take. In some countries it could take years to get into a competitive residency, are you aware if that´s the case for germany as well?

[@lucinda_328]

It depends on many factors like location, the area of surgery, size of the hospital, e.t.c. Plastic surgery, for example, is quite competitive, but it isn't impossible to get in.

[@birblover6423]

@@lucinda_328 do you happen to know if Anesthesiology is usually competitive or know where I could check? Also trying to cost it years in advance 😅

[@matthewl1726]

doctor, thank you very much for your video. I have one question, if non-eu citizen studied in Romania (eu country) but only get diploma and not a medical license. can this non-eu citizen still get approbation in germany or does this person need to get medical license in romania first?

[@drhundeyinsesi6006]

Thank you Dr Lucinda
1.Is it possible to do the language course up to B1 in my home country ( Gothe inst) and come to Germany for only B2 and C1 and then write the medical language exam
2 if I do this, will this be sufficient or I will have to start the course all over again from A1 when I get to Germany if I apply for the German language course

[@coachito5444]

Hello. I’m planning to move to Germany with a B1 too. Are you already in Germany? If so, please can you help me with some informations? Thanks

[@kannoamie5632]

Which medical school did you go to? I saw from your previous video that you studied in Romania. I'm also looking to study there but I need recommendation. Your story is inspiring and I want to follow your pathway.

[@yellownoiseclub]

i personally am 1st year in oradea university in romania

[@dannydieber8160]

Thank you for this

[@asifuddeen1237]

How difficult is the dermetology pathway...can we get hospitation in dermatology ..will that help

[@lucinda_328]

Dermatology is one of the most competitive specialties in Germany but it isn't impossible to get in.

[@peacekypa9512]

Hello sister. I would like to know where did you study your german language

[@WalidAlHussaini]

I’m about to finish cardiac surgery residency. I want to move to Germany to work in my field but I’m just curious if I wanted to do another surgical speciality is there any age cutoff? I’m 38 thanks

[@lucinda_328]

Hi, aside from the retirement age, there is no age limit to getting into residency.

[@juancamilomedrano2966]

Which are your tips for B2 exame ? And I loved your video

[@neemamoffat8464]

Thanks so much Beautiful Dr.Is it possible to apply for job while holding german language course visa

[@lucinda_328]

Hi Neema, you are welcome. Unfortunately, one is not allowed to work while on the language course visa.

[@pogcidi1890]

For someone who graduated from a European country e.g., Ukraine, is a medical diploma enough to get residency?

[@tichtran664]

Since Ukraine ISN'T a EU country nope. You have to take a medical terminology test in German and etc.

[@starbuildingnewhabitstoday]

I'm 41 years old and I'm finishing medical school in Bulgaria. Do you think my age could be an obstacle to residency in Germany?

[@indolilyindomitablelily7306]

Your age is not an issue.
Learn German language to the B2 level first.

[@healthspa3126]

Do I need a permanent license from my country or graduating is enough then start the process of getting Germany medical license?

[@lucinda_328]

Having a medical diploma/degree and proof of internship for those who studied outside the Eu is enough.

[@daou63]

Good evening. Pls, did you use an agent to do the approbation thing? Pls, if yes, can you help me with the name of the agent or the site or someone that helped you with the documents/process? Its for my daughter. Thank you 💚

[@lucinda_328]

Hi, no I didn't use an agent to get my approbation.

Thank you. Pls, is there any agent in Germany that can help?

Doc thank you very much.is the residency program under a university?

[@lucinda_328]

You are welcome. No, residency in Germany is done independently. It's not attached to a university.

[@lucinda_328]

I will look out for a dentist who can help on the pathway for dentistry.
