Hi Everyone,
I have done medical school in non-EU, in Middle East, and I have an ecfmg certificate after passing all the USMLE exams. I am considering doing residency in Germany as I have already good german language skills and it is easier in Germany to get into competitive specialties.
My question is: It is known that now we need to get an Approbation in order to get an unrestricted license to practice Medicine in Germany. The USA medical graduates receive directly an approbation because the US medical degree is considered equivalent to the german one. If a foreign medical graduate gets the ECFMG certification in USA, and also an unrestricted License to practice Medicine in USA, will he receive directly the german Approbation (on basis that he already made his degree equivalent to US one) or there is a possibility that he will do the Knowledge Test?
I wish you can help with this topic. If you also have information about Plabs and the Australian Board exams, and wether they can help you get an approbation in Germany, please do not hesitate to help.
