Hi,
I am an English National studying a 5 year MBBS at the Hull York Medical School. When I graduate I want to move straight to Germany to begin my medical career there. I will probably live there indefinitely.
As I understand it the German system equivalent to our F1 year is the 1.5 year Arzt im Praktikum. Would I be eligible for this on the strength of my MBBS alone?
Normally in the UK you must complete the F1 year to convert your provisional GMC registration into full GMC registration. Would this make a difference with respect to applying for the Arzt im Praktikum? What would be the implications of not doing this first year in the UK and going straight to Germany. Would it just make it more difficult for me to return to England and practice here?
I hope someone out there can give me some advice or suggest where I might find it.
Thanks for your help,
Richard
