Hi Zakaria, thanks for reaching out and for sharing your background. It depends on a few key points: German authorities mainly look at the content and structure of your studies, not only the university name. Your curriculum, hours, and clinical training are compared to German medical education. In many cases, graduates from Russia receive partial equivalence, which can lead to a Defizitbescheid and then either the FSP or KP as the next step. The outcome also depends on where you apply (federal state) and how complete and well-prepared your documents are. Small details can make a big difference here. I’m assuming you’ve already completed your full medical degree – if that’s not the case, the situation might look a bit different. If you’d like, we can quickly look at your situation together in a free 10-minute call and see how realistic Gleichwertigkeit is in your case and what the best next step would be for you: https://get2germany.com/en/get2germany-consultations/free-consultation Just in case this is helpful at your stage: our free roadmap can also help you understand the recognition steps and typical timelines more clearly. You don’t need to have everything figured out right now – once the process is structured, things usually feel much more manageable.
