The complete path

Seven stages on your way to Germany

Every case is different, so the order and timing of the stages may vary. This is what a typical path looks like — and at every step of it, we are on your side.

1

First contact

You get in touch however suits you — phone, e-mail or WhatsApp. No obligation.

What you do

You call, write an e-mail or WhatsApp message and tell us what you are looking for in Germany. If you wish, you can fill in a simple application right away — we prepare the CV for you.

What we do

We reply quickly and get to know your preferences: region, type of facility (acute hospital or rehabilitation), specialty, family situation and language level.

Usually 1–3 days after contact
2

Analysis and hospital selection

We select specific facilities matched to your profile.

What you do

You wait for proposals and tell us which hospitals interest you.

What we do

We select facilities matching your specialty and preferences, then present your candidacy — we have direct contacts inside the hospitals.

Discreet presentation of your candidacy. In the first phase we can present hospitals with an anonymous profile: experience, specialty, language level and expectations — without revealing your name or current workplace.
A few days to a few weeks
3

Interviews with the hospital

You meet the employer and agree on the terms.

What you do

You take part in the interviews — often by phone or online at first.

What we do

We arrange the appointments, prepare you and support you in contact with the hospital, all the way to the offer and the employment contract.

1–4 weeks
4

Language: certificate and the Fachsprachprüfung

You demonstrate your knowledge of German.

What you do

You obtain a B2/C1 certificate (Goethe-Institut, ÖSD, telc) and — if required — take the Fachsprachprüfung, the medical language examination at the medical chamber (Ärztekammer).

What we do

We advise you on when and where to take the exam. If you do not yet have a certificate, we start working together earlier and get there along the way.

Depends on your starting point
5

Approbation and paperwork

You obtain your licence to practise in Germany.

What you do

You gather the documents: diploma, Polish licence to practise, required certificates.

What we do

We guide you through the whole process — translations, applications and contact with the authorities. As a physician with an EU diploma you have a legal right to the Approbation; we also take care of the recognition of your specialist title.

Usually several months (depending on the federal state)
6

Relocation and your first shift

You move and start working.

What you do

You pack and settle in at your new home.

What we do

We help with the practicalities on site: registration, tax ID, bank account, insurance and finding a flat.

Weeks before your first day
7

Support after you start

We do not disappear once the contract is signed.

What you do

You settle into your job and life in Germany.

What we do

We stay in touch and help throughout your entire employment.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take and what does it cost?

How long does the whole thing take?

The duration of the whole journey depends mainly on two things: your language level and the pace of the Approbation in the given federal state. For some it takes a few months, for others longer. At every stage we tell you honestly where you stand.

What does it cost?

Our help is completely free of charge for you, at every stage. You sign no binding contracts — you work with us for as long as you wish.

Start your journey — with an application.

The easiest way to apply is our “automatic CV” form — you fill in simple fields and we prepare the finished CV for you. You do not need a CV beforehand; if you have one, you can attach it. The first step is free and non-binding.

Specialists can attach a catalogue of procedures/examinations — Latin is welcome.
