I there!

I´m from Portugal but i´ll tell what I´ve been told: In belgium you need to do a test (american type) with questions about "all" medicine and questions about the specialty you want. Afterwards you need to do an oral examination with 3 teachers about your specialty. Then, in the majoraty of specialties, you enter either to internal medicine or to general surgery (I was told it´s very competitive to get in internal medicine), you work 3 years there and only after that you make onother examination to chose the area you want. What I was told is that it´s very competitive..

I have no idea if they accept non-EU doctors.

Hope I could help you...

Brush up on your French is the first piece of advice.

Hi, what kind of information are you looking for?. For Belgium I have read some forum and they said is quite competitive but possible. They are so picky with the level of French. The process is a internship for 1 month, an examen and the last step is an interview.

first of all you'll have to decide between the dutch part or the french part.

The French part i can't really help you with as i know very little about it.

The Dutch part (Flanders) is where i'm from and what i'll explain briefly.
The very short explanation is you are out of luck if you want a competitive residency as it just isn't going to happen.
The slightly longer explanation is that the 3 big universities (Antwerpen, Leuve & Gent; basicly the ones with a med school) get a number of spots allocated for residency each year and they do solicitations for it, however students from the own university get first pick so as a foreign grad student you only get to pick from what is left. A&E, general medicine, psychiatry usually have spots free, although general medicine is picking up

now for your other questions

Your license can indeed be aknowledged if our country deems it equal more about it here:
http://www.health.belgium.be/eporta...rnationalmobility/index.htm#Erkenning_diploma

Basicly this says if you got your medical degree in EU or Swiss you can follow this application (dutch)

If you got it from outside the EU you have to get it approved by the region (Dutch/French government)
French: http://www.equivalences.cfwb.be/portail_equivalences.asp

Dutch: http://www.ond.vlaanderen.be/naric/
=> this is the document you want to end up with for the dutch part http://www.ond.vlaanderen.be/naric/...s/academische erkenning hoger onderwijs_E.doc

which you then send to:

Hi. I know this post is super old but I really need your help. I am currently in my 6th year or Intern Year of MBBS. I'm a non EU member. What postgraduate degree can I do in a country like Belgium so I can acquire a specialty or a license to practice? Will they accept my MBBS degree?
