Building Bridges
What We Do – How We Help You

A bridge is so much more than merely a connection between two points. Upon closer inspection, one realizes that a bridge is a work of precision craftsmanship. It must be strong and enduring to fulfill its purpose; furthermore, to use it, one must place their trust in it. Europework serves just such a bridging function. As a recruitment agency, we have specialized for over 16 years in the placement and support of foreign physicians within Germany.

Europework is a recruitment agency for foreign physicians, headquartered in Germany. Through our expert guidance and our nationwide network of contacts, we connect you with German hospitals and clinics. In doing so, we provide our international physician clients with access to the German healthcare system.

Our services encompass comprehensive support throughout your journey toward securing a signed employment contract with a German hospital.

Specialist training in Germany

In Western Europe, specialist training is a paid further education, in Eastern Europe it is still not so – there, the person who wants to be trained as a specialist must bear the costs themselves.

For Physicians

For foreign physicians who have studied medicine in the EU.

Compared internationally, the German healthcare system is highly attractive. In Western Europe, specialist medical training is a paid form of professional development; in Eastern Europe, however, this remains to this day not the case, as individuals wishing to train as specialists must bear the costs themselves. Germany occupies a unique position in Europe, as it is the only country where almost all hospitals hold accreditation to provide specialist training to resident physicians. In all other European nations, only university hospitals possess such accreditation. With over 2,000 acute-care hospitals and 300 rehabilitation clinics, Germany is therefore an ideal country for young physicians aspiring to become specialists a path for which they also receive a very good monthly salary. For this reason, many foreign physicians relocate to Germany to launch their careers primarily to complete their specialist training there, or even, as fully qualified specialists, to further expand their professional expertise.

We support foreign physicians with:

Learning the German Language
Application for an approbation
Finding a position as assistant doctor in a German clinic
Creation of a professional application
Preparation for the job interview
Employment contract evaluation

The Integration of Physicians in Germany

Germany is a nation divided into 16 different federal states. Each federal state has its own medical association (NRW even has two medical associations) and its own health authority. Each federal state has its own rules and laws and its own immigration procedure for foreign doctors. In Germany, one can freely apply for an open position and every qualified doctor who studied medicine in the EU can receive the approbation certificate immediately with a passed FSP certificate.

Specialized Language Examination (FSP) in Germany

Since January 2017, all foreign doctors practicing in Germany must pass the so-called Specialized Language Examination (FSP) to obtain their medical license.

This specialized language examination is administered exclusively by the respective medical associations in each federal state.

A German B2 language certificate is required to apply for a license to practice, but a C1 level is necessary for the license itself, as the FSP examination is at the C1 level.

Your preparation for the Specialized Language Examination should look like this:

You can obtain a general language diploma up to C1 level at Goethe or TelC language schools.

We also know of several private tutors who can teach you German online, from A1 to C1 level.

You can complete the preparation courses for the Specialized Language Examination (FSP) yourself in your home country.

For preparation for the Specialized Language Examination, you are welcome to contact us via this link.

You can’t study German all day long. Even if you’re tired in the evening, don’t try to study then. Instead, use our media library to learn German. With this library, you can watch most of the major German television channels and many interesting German series online. Have fun!

Media Library

Europework will email you a list detailing the documents you need to gather in order to apply for your professional license. Subsequently, we will have these documents translated into German by a certified translator residing in Germany. We will also complete the license application on your behalf and submit it, together with the translated documents, to the responsible health authority.
