Hello Mei-Ling, thank you very much for your question - the topic is absolutely central for everyone preparing for the Kenntnisprüfung. The examination-relevant topics and subjects are largely based nationwide on the second Ärztliche Staatsprüfung of the German Medizinstudium. The main focus is on internal medicine and surgery. In internal medicine, topics such as cardiovascular diseases, pneumology, gastroenterology, endocrinology and infectiology are particularly common. In surgery, the focus is on emergencies, wound care, traumatology and the basics of operative medicine, for example. In addition, interdisciplinary areas such as emergency medicine (e.g. resuscitation, shock), pharmacology and pharmacotherapy (e.g. mechanisms of action and typical drugs), as well as imaging techniques (X-ray, CT, MRI, sonography) are very relevant. Radiation protection and medical law and professional knowledge (e.g. documentation obligation, confidentiality, data protection) are also often examined. The examination itself usually lasts 60 to 90 minutes, and usually consists of a practical examination with case presentation and a case-based specialist discussion with diagnosis and therapy planning. Clinical decision-making and the doctor's communication skills also play an important role.
