Career placement
Doctors Abroad
Germany continues to face a significant shortage of doctors and nurses. Around 50,000 vacancies across different departments still need to be filled, and your next professional opportunity could be one of them.
To meet this demand, Germany is actively seeking qualified international applicants. Meddienst supports you with reliable guidance, clear orientation and personal support as you begin your career in Germany.
A new generation of medical professionals is urgently needed across Germany, and this demand is expected to remain high. There are several reasons for this:
- Many doctors and nurses are reaching retirement age.
- The healthcare and social systems are becoming more advanced and complex.
- Frequent job changes, along with difficult staffing conditions in rural areas, make it harder for hospitals and care institutions to find qualified medical professionals.
Join us
A clear route into medical work in Germany.
At Meddienst, we support your journey to Germany. If you are a doctor or nurse who completed your education and training abroad and would like to continue your career in Germany, we can offer you a clear plan and guide you through the necessary requirements until you are ready to start your new role.
For doctors, this usually includes a completed medical degree and proof of graduation. A one-year internship can also be an advantage. After that, obtaining an official medical license, the Approbation, becomes possible and allows you to work in Germany.
Option one
Prepare independently and take the licensing examination. After passing the exam, you can be licensed to work as a doctor in Germany nationwide.
Option two
Submit an application for the recognition process. Your university curriculum will be carefully compared with the requirements of German universities.
Applicants must meet several requirements for the process to move forward.
- Proof of good conduct
- Personal suitability for the respective position
- Knowledge of German, usually at least B2 level and in some federal states even C1.
- Pass the Fachsprachpruefung, the medical German language examination.
All documents must be submitted to the responsible licensing authority, which depends on the federal state in which you apply.
Note: Recognition of a specialist title is possible, but the process can take time and may require additional practical experience in German hospitals.
Why should Germany be your choice?
There are many good reasons to consider Germany as your next destination. You can expect safety, stability and strong long-term prospects.
Once you find your new job and start working in Germany, you may qualify for an EU Blue Card. Compared with a standard work permit, it offers important advantages and can make the path to permanent residency, and later German citizenship, significantly easier.
While applying for the Approbation, you may also be able to use the time effectively through supervised work under the guidance of a hospital specialist, with a regular salary and valuable practical experience.
Diverse opportunities
In comparison to other countries, Germany has a highly effective healthcare system, using the latest treatment methods and modern medical instruments.
Security and insurance
Germany offers a stable and secure environment. You are covered by health insurance, and employment relationships are clearly structured and legally protected.
