r/approbation

Hello everybody, I thought I would share with everyone step by step how I got my Approbation after 2 years, having studied in Serbia (non EU) and beign a russian-serbian citizen.

1. I started learning German on my last year of Medicine, I reached B2 in one year (doable!!) then got B2 Goethe
2. When I finished and got my Diploma, I got all documents translated and apostilled and I moved to Münster (NRW) in Germany. Tipp: make sure you pass your state exam where you studied, they asked me for this later..
3. I submitted all my documents and they invited me after 6 months to pass a FSP / Fachsprachprüfung. This is a medical language exam (no knowledge tested) I prepared for this exam with an online course (Mainly Amboss & Meddeonline, but I also took FIA)
4. They told me my university diploma (From Belgrade, Serbia) wasnt enough, so they also invited me to pass a Kenntnisprüfung (This is normal for non EU! dont worry)
5. I passed FSP first try, then I got a Berufserlaubnis (temporary licens) so I started working with this making about 3000 euros a month to pay for my stuff. Tipp: I found fats a job in Psychiatrie, other specialties not so fast, but for innere medizin I also got offers.
6. I was brave and took the KP after only half a year , sadly I failed , but this is normal, the exam in Münster was super hard (dont desperate if u fail first time!) I decided to take courses again (wise idea) I used Amboss again, IFAS Münster and meddeonline again (Meddeonline I found to be the most identical to the actual exam, Amboss was a good general background, IFAS was free (paid by the state) good to meet other students in person. I felt ready after a few months preparation.
7. Took the KP second time, was prepared this time and confident , I PASSED, then after a few motnhs they sent me the Approbation.

Now happily on my way to specialization in the same Klinik where I started as Assistenzärztin, so I encourage everyone to do it too!! If anyone has any questions I'm happy to help,
best regards everyone and best wishes on your way too 🌸

Hello everyone.

I am an EU graduate. I would like to ask about the FSP in Baden Wüttenberg. How long does it take to find an appointment?

how is the exam itself? is it considered a tough state to pass in or relatively fair?

The options that are ideal for me are Thüringen and BW. other states either offers Famed or need a job in advance to apply for approbation or known to be tough or takes too long.

If someone who took the BW could share their experience that would be really helpful.

Kann mir jemand sagen, wie ich am besten eine Stellenzusage (Anlage 2) für die Approbation in Hessen bekomme? Ich bin Ärztin aus Bulgarien, habe Deutsch auf B2-Niveau sowie die FSP erfolgreich bestanden und befinde mich aktuell im Approbationsverfahren. Ich suche eine Stelle als Assistenzärztin in Weiterbildung, bei der der Arbeitgeber tatsächlich bereit ist, diese offizielle Zusage für die Approbation auszustellen. Hat jemand Erfahrung damit oder kann mir einen Tipp geben?

Hello everyone,
How do I check if my medical school’s curriculum is up to Germany’s standards and whether I need KP?
My medical school’s curriculum updated when I first joined med school so it has only 2 batches of fresh graduates, I was the 2nd batch. I’m not sure if anyone from my medical school went to Germany using this curriculum and if they had to take KP or no.

PLEASEE help how do I check?
Or what do I need?
