[@camiyyb7530]

Hi ! would be it be easy for EU trained EU national doctors to get a position in rural areas? I mean is it not too competitive there in Germany to secure a position as a resident? I ask this because during the last years they have managed to attract many doctors and now it seems like there´s kind of surplus of them in urban areas but what I would like to know is that as someone trained in Spain how would be my chances in rural areas.

hi , i would be graduating in 5 years time and im planning an immigration to germany , would you say it's possible that in a 5 year periode germany demand for doctors with be less or that regulations could be passed so that it would be hard for immigrant to doctors to work there, if i made u confused , think about germany demand over the last 5 yrs did it decrease or chaange whatsoever ?

[@EutopianDoctor]

Keeping in mind that I am no expert whatsoever in this field, I dont see demand decreasing in Germany for some time. Specially because german workers seem to keep leaving germany for other countries. Just my opinion though

[@MannedSoldier]

Any idea if I should even consider Radiology? I keep reading and being told it is a nearly impossible speciality be accepted into as an immigrant.

[@EutopianDoctor]

Being an immigrant makes no difference in my opinion. If you like it you must try. There are hundreds of hospitals in Germany. You only need one to say yes.

[@zenatirania9400]

Thank you very much for this video I want to know if there is a difference between university and non-university hospitals ? does that mean when I finish my specialty will it be recognized for all the EU or they recognize only the specialties that have been done in university hospitals ?

[@EutopianDoctor]

When you finish your specialty it will be recognized in all of Europe regardless of whether you did it in university hospitals or not. The main difference is that university hospitals do treat extremely complicated cases and do things that others can't afford/don't know what to do

Hola I have a question what is different between apply for a job through ärztevermittlung and directly the hospital ?

[@EutopianDoctor]

No real difference. It's always better to contact directly the hospital, but if you get the job through some company / agency / it's welcome as well. The contract is defined by law so they won't be paying you any less regardless of how you get the job

[@nelsontaibell5389]

Hola :) En primera medida , gracias tus videos en verdad son muy muy útiles, quería hacerte una pregunta. ¿Sabes si en Dermatologia es posible obtener alguna plaza ? , entiendo que podría ser algo como muy específico que quizá no esté en hospitales pequeños.

[@EutopianDoctor]

Correcto, al ser más específico hay menos plazas y principalmente en hospitales algo más grandes. Sin embargo eso no quiere decir que no se pueda entrar. En caso de no encontrar plaza siempre se puede hacer uno o dos años de medicina interna y después con más experiencia y mejor CV entrar a Derma. Suerte!

[@MrVasand]

Great video, thanks. About changing hospitals, does it has to be in the same land or can be different? In different wouldn’t you potentially need a new approbation?

[@EutopianDoctor]

No, the approbation once you get it has the same value all over Germany. You do need to register in the Ärztekammer of the region where you are moving, but the approbation is accepted everywhere in Germany

[@mohamadnaboulsi1652]

How about psychiatry? I really want to become a psychiatrist and I'm thinking about moving to Germany for my residency program. But the thing is that I'd like to move to a big city, because I'm really passionate about learning foreign languages and basically a big city means more chances of practicing my target languages. How competitive is psychiatry as a field? (especially in the big cities)

[@EutopianDoctor]

Sadly I don't know any psychiatrist here in Germany. I don't think it's a very competitive specialy but I am honestly just guessing.

Hola!☺️ por ejemplo en la especialidad de endocrino, habria que entrar por medicina interna y hacer unos años más general? Es decir, ir rotando por cardio, nefro...o ya vas más al grano de la especialidad que te gusta? Muchas gracias!

[@EutopianDoctor]

Por lo general se empieza en interna rotando un poco por pulmo, cardio etc y como al año o dos años te vas a endocrino y acabas la especialidad como endocrino. Otra posibilidad es acabar los 5 años de especialidad de interna y luego solo necesitas 2 años para ser también especialista de endocrino y así tener 2 especialidades en 7 años.

Hola, muchas gracias por sus videos doctor, tengo una duda, yo recién terminé neurología, pero en Mexico es prerrequisito realizar 2 años de Medicina Interna, y son 3 años de Neurologia, estos años de experiencia me pueden servir para entrar a una residencia de Neurología en Alemania? y si es así, sabe si es necesario traducir un programa operativo o una lista detallada del plan de estudios de esos 2 años de medicina interna o de los 3 años de neurología? saludos y le agradezco sus videos y su apoyo.

[@EutopianDoctor]

Tener experiencia siempre ayuda a la hora de obtener una plaza. Sin embargo dudo que los años sean convalidados. Al traducirlos le será más fácil demostrar que de hecho tiene esa experiencia.

[@bebaruiz9370]

If you do your residency in Germany, then, if you want to go back to Spain, do you need to do the MIR exam and residency?

[@EutopianDoctor]

Once you acquire your diploma as a specialist, it will be accepted as such all over Europe. This means that if I wanted to go back to Spain after becoming a specialist I wouldnt need to do residency again, I would start directly as a specialist.

To my understanding a Turkish diploma is recognized in Germany but you will still need to know a medical theoretical exam. The so-called Kentnisseprüfung. However there might be some some agreement between Germany and Turkey that I am not aware of. Best of luck!

It's difficult to know if a hospital is good or not from the outside. The relation with and between coworkers is very important and that can't be assessed if you are not already working there. You can always do a 1 week or a 1 month Praktikum in different hospitals in order to know how they are
