I might get a Berufserlaubnis in NRW. Can I already work as an Assistenzarzt with it? And what happens later with Approbation?
My BE was valid for 2 years. When the Approbation came, the contract was adjusted, but it was easy.
With BE you can often work, but only under supervision and sometimes only in one federal state or one clinic.
