Yep, there are three different paths to follow according to your nationality and the country where you graduated. So, feel free to jump to the section you're interested in or watch the entire video, because there might be some good advices and tricks here and there. Not to mention my charming Italian accent! ;)

Hello, Doc! Please tell me which is the best and most possible of these two options: admission with a diploma from a country that is not part of the EU at all or a diploma from Germany? Will there be any difference at all if I definitely don’t have EU citizenship? There was also a question, can I Is it possible to start a residency in Germany and continue it in Switzerland? And the last point - my ultimate goal is neurosurgery, is it realistic for a foreigner to get a job in this specialty in Switzerland or is it like in the USA - on the verge of the impossible? Thank you!

[@udenilsonjunior]

Thank you for your video in English! Extremely helpful. I’d like to ask you how competitive is emergency medicine there for a non UE medical degree and non UE citizen? Thanks

[@unmedicoinsvizzera]

Hi, there’s no residency program for emergency medicine, you have to be an internal medicine specialist first and then go through a fellowship (schwerpunkt) in emergency medicine. Not that competitive.

Anche in inglese, grande sempre!😂 Piccola domanda come al solito, dopo questa sessione esami dovrei chiedere la tesi..consigli di farla nella specializzazione per la quale poi si vuole tentare di entrare successivamente in svizzera o non influenza particolarmente al momento del colloquio? (Magari l’aver frequentato ad esempio un reparto di ginecologia per tutta la tesi, e magari con anche una lettera di presentazione da parte del primario nel quale la si fa, può aiutare al momento del primo colloquio in svizzera?)

[@unmedicoinsvizzera]

Ti consiglio di farla su qualcosa che ti piace, il resto verrà da se!

Doc forse mi potrà toglier una curiosità, perchè se mi taglio con una lametta esce un casino di sangue mentre invece in caso di infortuni seri si sente spesso dire "non c' era una goccia di sangue"? Sono rimasto impressionato da un video visto online in cui una persona ha perso entrambe le gambe sotto un treno..... Era cosciente...... C' era pochissimo sangue!!!!!! Eppure aveva ovviamente 2 arterie tranciate! E ancora nessun paramedico quindi il merito non va a loro... Com' è possibile?

Well, you need to prove you speak one of the national languages. I think the easiest way would be providing a language certificate.

Hi doc! I've heard that people who aren't from EU countries but did residency in a european country like germany still get EU citizenship after 5 years of residency ( those 3 years you were talking about are included in those 5 years then) so they can fill in the indirect recognition category right?

Ciao dottore, grazie per il video!! Ho alcune domande: 1: In riguardo alla lingua. Se Italiano è la mia lingua materna, in che modo si può provarlo senza fare vedere il certificato di lingua? Perché io studio in Belgio quindi a base della residenza non vedono che parlo italiano (ho la nazionalità italiana però). 2: Quale cantone in Svizzera è secondo lei il migliore per lavorare come dottore? Parlo anche il francese e potrei anche studiare il tedesco visto che non è molto difficile dal olandese, quindi tutti e 3 i cantoni mi andrebbero bene ahaha 3: Questo processo di applicazione nel video, conta per un dottore che già è specializzato nel suo paese, o posso anche fare la residency in Svizzera senza aver iniziato la residency in Belgio, quindi già con il diploma di dottore ma senza iniziare la specializzazione in Belgio. Grazie mille! :)

[@unmedicoinsvizzera]

Ciao, 1. Se la tua lingua madre è l’italiano non devi provare nulla, non c’è bisogno di certificati. 2. Il cantone migliore dipende. Sicuramente la Svizzera tedesca ha più opportunità perché più ampia. 3. Il video ti spiega come iniziare la residency in Svizzera, quindi non obbligatoriamente già specializzato nel proprio paese. In bocca al lupo!

Do you know anything about nonEU person with EU diploma married to British national? I read somewhere that Brits can work in CH (via direct) until 2024 so would their spouses be treated the same..?

[@unmedicoinsvizzera]

Sorry I don’t know

[@unmedicoinsvizzera]

I've just received an update on this matter and since January 1st 2021 British and their spouses can apply for direct recognition. However, no information is yet available on the legal situation after 2024.

I’m married to a French citizen but studied MBBS in China and did my training in Mauritius. Which category do I fall in please ? Thanks

[@unmedicoinsvizzera]

Hello, your French citizenship does not grant you the possibility to get your diploma recognized neither directly nor indirectly. You fall into the third category, minute 5:58. (However, if you've already worked in France for at least 3 years in the last 5 years, you can apply for indirect recognition.) Best of luck, Stefano

[@unmedicoinsvizzera]

As I state in the video, if a country signed the Free Movement Agreement with Switzerland (which France and Germany had) and you've been working in that country for minimum 3 years with unrestricted medical license, then you can apply for INDIRECT recognition. However, in case you do NOT have EU or Swiss nationality, then your only solution is to apply as NON-RECOGNIZABLE DIPLOMA.
