Du schaffst es. Und wenn du die Prüfung nicht schaffst, bist du trotzdem viel weiter als andere die noch ganz am Anfang sind. Gib Gas, lerne täglich. Du wirst ankommen da wo wo du hingehörst.

[@siddiqshirgaonkar3204]

Your video was extremely insightful . Most of the time we approach a lot of things by just looking at the pros , but yeah i see that a few cons definitely help us see more of the reality and to find a balance between them . May i ask how are the internal medicine residency programs in germany ?

[@doctoruniversity]

Not very different. Bad or more accurately inadequate Training is the standard. Good is an exception.

[@valeriacastillo8424]

Thanks for the video, really helps a lot! I was wondering when you said that surgical residents don’t operate a lot (once a week), why is that? The attendings don’t let them operate? Is it better if you ask them to let you in the surgeries? I really want to be a surgeon and this would help a lot making a decision where I should do it.

[@doctoruniversity]

Do you speak German??

thank you for the great video. May I ask you what books did you use to learn descriptive anatomy auf Deutsch? I notice that your Amazon list only has an atlas. Is it what you used only?

[@doctoruniversity]

I also used Bildwörterbuch. But I didn’t put in my Amazon List. Because I didn’t know which category would be the right one. The book has everything thing in 3 languages English, German and French. Including the human body.

[@doctoruniversity]

I can’t say. Because it’s different and has a lot to do with where you are and what life standards you want to live.

[@berfinogel]

Thanks for all! I still have a question, you mentioned it always varies education quality in both big and small hospitals, and big hospital doesn't always mean good education. Can you tell about which hospitals are good at general surgery assistant education? Or from where shall we access this information?

[@doctoruniversity]

Not really. I can’t tell. You have to ask may be online and try some until you find something.

[@samershaheen858]

Thank you for your guidance, I have done USMLE and finished my studies in Hungary and currently working as an assistant surgeon outside germany and i would like to specialize in ENT. Do i have a good chance of getting into it in Germany? Are there vacancies for foreigners for minor specialties?

Yes.

[@hamdesire239]

thanks a lot for the video, keep it up . i have a question: can you work in the uk after finishing your residency in Germany without having to do residency all over again? or what are the countries in which you can work as a specialist after finishing your residency in Germany?

European Union countries. UK is not included. I’m not sure but probably you’ll have to start from the beginning m.

[@kasadar]

Hello i wanted ot ask you is it the same for ortho residency? you dont get to put your hands on everything during residency? Does your individual skills and proving yourself help you to get to operate more? or it doesnt matter how good you are you ll end up operating one day per week anyway

[@doctoruniversity]

If you’re good you get probably to operate more. What you need to understand ist that the number of surgeons to the number of patients is much smaller than in other countries. Because there are many doctors here. If you’re surgically good and have some good soft skills that will give an advantage over other residents but to a certain point. In the end the sum of the operations done by residents ist much smaller.

Hi doctor ,first of all thanks for such an amazing and helpful content , I am actually looking forward to be in plastic surgery residency in Germany , can i get in it ? and is plastic surgeon a good choice to be in Germany ,because its not much common

[@doctoruniversity]

It’s not easy to get in but it’s possible. And about the second question. I don’t really understand what you mean??

[@amandagalletti7541]

Where can I find a list of the surgery residency programs to compare and choose? is there a site for it?

[@doctoruniversity]

There is none. There is a new and growing website called ethimedis.de where you can search all hospitals in Germany by region and specialty. But it’s still new and lacking information to many hospitals.

[@ahitsthewaffler8363]

Hello!!! Do your residency years in the uk count towards german residency ?

[@doctoruniversity]

Not sure. But probably yes.

[@indumathin3309]

How long is surgical residency now there ? And do they consider the previous clinical experience to reduce the duration of residency

[@doctoruniversity]

6 years. And for the second question yes mostly they do.

[@ayeshar91]

Hello. Do we get to do many operations in case we choose to do General Surgery during our residency?

[@doctoruniversity]

You may choose to stay in a small hospital with a small number of residents. The Problem in this approach is that in small hospitals you don’t get to see complex cases. In my opinion are those cases very important to see in your residency time.

[@ayeshar91]

Okay. Thank you.

Please answer me if yk , if i gratuate from med school from one country and then do internatura 12months in another country ( both countries are not my nationality country) will that be a problem? Should i do internship and med school in same country?

No you shouldn’t but you should bring a certificate that proves what you did
