ECFMG certificate für Approbation ohne Kenntnisprüfung

[BadenBaden 0]

Hii everyone,

 

I am an Indian graduate residing in Baden Württenberg working in a hospital. I have been advised by my Ärztkämmer that for Approbation I can if I wish to choose for Gleichwirtigkeit. The process apparently will not take long if I choose an external Gutachten for which I have to pay 1500 euros which is fine for me. I am also ECFMG certified with a bit of hands-on US clinical experience. Does anyone know of being exempted from the Kenntnisprüfung if you have the ECFMG certificate? I have heard stories before but not come across anyone who has had the actual experience. Would appreciate an honest feedback. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am also ECFMG certified, but have not looked into the equivalency procedure here in Germany when I moved here in 2010. I went into working in industry (pharmaceuticals). 

 

Things might have changed since 2010, but the best way to find out is ask the Ärztekammer themselves of what the process is. Do not rely on any "stories".

 

Good luck.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I cannot ask the Arztkammer because I am pretty sure they will tell to apply for the equivalency procedure and wait for the result. The procedure cost about 1500 Euros for faster results. But thank you for the feedback.

If you haven't already done so I'd suggest you read carefully through the details shown on this page of the Recognition in Germany website which outlines the procedural options for B-W.

 

If you wish you can direct a telephone enquiry to a state administration official responsible for candidate names by alphabetical order or see the section on the IQ info source which may help you with more general advice about obtaining your Approbtion.

 

Either option would appear to allow you to pose your questions while avoiding initial direct contact with the B-W Landesärztkammer.

Thank you. Frau Kopf is the person who is responsible for me and she was the one who suggested me the equivalency procedure when I had posed her the question!

 

But appreciate the help!

Hi! I'm in the situation, can you share what did they say? Did they gave you Approbation without Kenntnissprüfung?
