USMLE = United States Medical Licensing Examination
Why do you wanna do residency in Germany?
Makes logical sense, but it's not that simple. As far as I know, a few countries like the UAE and Israel do allow exemption from taking their national medical licensing examinations if one has successfully passed their USMLEs.
I don't know, but I do doubt Germany has something similar in place.
Why do you wanna do residency in Germany?
Some German/ Austrian orthopedic surgery program must be recognized here in US.
One recent orthopedic staff starting at our hospital is a girl who went to Israel for medical school, did her orthopedic surgery residency at Austria, now she is practicing here in US, without re-doing any residency.
So some residency in Germany or Austria must be fully recognized here in US.
Are you in the EU?
Georgia the state or the country?

How long does it take to complete the process?No it won't
Get your german skills to B2-C1
Select a state (I'm in Bavaria for example). Some states ask for a B2 Certificate (Goethe, TestDaf, DSH)
Register for and pass the Fachsprachprüfung (Medical Language Test)
You get a temporary license for 2 years (Berufserlaubnis)
Register for and pass the Kenntnisprüfung (Medical Knowledge Test)
You get your permanent License (Approbation)
Look for a residency spot at a hospital, and that's it.

If you don't speak german it will take minimum 1 year of intensive study to get to that level; realistically 2. That's the rate limiter.
