Medical Schools in Germany

May 25, 2009 · 1 Comment

A basic medical degree in Germany takes a minimum of 6 years and includes a final year of practical training in a university or teaching hospital. After graduation another 18 months of internship (Artzt im Praktikum) is required before doctors receive a licence to Practice. Postgraduate training may take four to six years depending on the specialty.

After passing their basic medical degree, including the Staatsexamen und Arzt im Praktikum (State examination and completion of compulsory practical training), graduates receive a license to practice medicine and the professional title of physician (Arzt). The qualification of Doctor of Medicine, Doktor der Medizin, (Dr med.) [MD] is awarded if the graduate has additionally successfully completed a scientific dissertation.

In order to practice medicine, Doctors must register with the Arztekammern der Laender (General Medical Council of the respective provinces). The licence to practice medicine is granted to graduates of recognized medical schools who have also completed 18 months of practical training.
