You have successfully completed your medical studies and would now like to do specialist training? Click here for more information.

Further training for academic health professions, especially for doctors, is an important prerequisite for being allowed to practice the profession practically.

During the training, you will learn the necessary skills and abilities for your future profession.

Through the training you will receive your specialist, specialization, or additional title. If you successfully complete several further training courses, you may use all acquired titles side by side (e.g. FA for Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine - focus on pediatric cardiology).

The training is carried out exclusively by doctors who have been authorised by the Medical Association.

The duration of the training depends on the respective course. In principle, you must complete the training full-time and full-time. However, exceptions are possible.

As a doctor without specialist training, you are not allowed to work in all areas and institutions of medicine. In the past, doctors without specialist training were allowed to establish themselves as general practitioners or to work as contract doctors. This is no longer possible. However, you are likely to continue to work in a private practice, in emergencies or with practice representations.

As soon as you have received the license to practice medicine, you can start further training. All continuing education courses offered are announced by the Medical Association. During the training, you will acquire all the necessary skills and abilities. All completed courses are documented in a logbook.

At the end of the training, you apply for admission to the examination at the Medical Association. You can only be admitted to an examination for the focus and receive recognition if you have already successfully completed specialist training.

The Medical Association sets the date for examination. This is oral and lasts at least 30 minutes.

You will receive the certificate of recognition and may use the specialist, specialisation or additional title.

According to § 14 paragraph 1 sentence 1 WBO, the Medical Association sets the date for the examination, which takes place within a reasonable period of time, at the latest 6 months after admission.

There are no deadlines for applying for recognition.
