Weiterbildung für Akademische Gesundheitsberufe anerkennen lassen

You have successfully completed your medical studies and would now like to do a specialist training? Here you will find information about it.

Continuing education for academic health professions, especially for doctors, is an important prerequisite for practicing the profession.

During the training, you will learn the necessary skills and abilities for your future profession.

Through the further training, you will receive your specialist, focus or additional qualification. If you successfully complete several further training courses, you may use all acquired designations side by side (e.B. FA for Paediatric and Adolescent Medicine - Focus on Paediatric Cardiology).

The training is conducted exclusively by doctors who have been authorized by the Medical Association.

The duration of the training depends on the respective course. If you have already completed an internship in a medical institution during your training, this can also be counted towards the training period. In principle, you must complete the further training full-time and full-time. However, exceptions are also possible here.

As a doctor without specialist training, you are not allowed to work in all areas and institutions of medicine. In the past, doctors without specialist training were allowed to settle down as general practitioners or work as contract doctors. This is no longer possible. However, you are likely to continue to work in a private practice, in emergencies or in practice representations.
