To practice medicine in Germany, foreign-trained physicians must have their medical qualifications recognized by passing the Kenntnisprüfung (knowledge test). Sufficient knowledge of the German language is also a requirement. Physicians can learn the correct German medical terms and treatment recommendations according to German guidelines with AMBOSS.
For participants in the oral-practical knowledge examination (Kenntnisprüfung), we also provide a study plan.
This study plan serves as a guideline for structured preparation for the oral-practical examination including the patient presentation:
Structured and concise—for optimal preparation
Be prepared for the knowledge test (Kenntnisprüfung) with the state-funded preparation course with our partner, Lingoda. The course combines a comprehensive AMBOSS learning plan with the Lingoda German language course. If you are interested, Lingoda can support you during the funding process and with any questions you may have.
To use the study plan and other features, an AMBOSS access is required. All doctors who do not have AMBOSS access can activate it at any time, for example, with the discounted annual subscription (16.50 €/month) or the flexible monthly subscription (22 €/month).
Our partner, the Marburger Bund, provides detailed answers to questions about the general recognition process, temporary licenses, knowledge and equivalency tests, employment contracts, etc.
An AMBOSS article as an audio episode? We provide audio versions of the most important AMBOSS articles.
Every two weeks we publish our German podcast episodes that cover the most important clinical topics.
