Hi Carlos, Thanks for your question! It’s an important one for many international doctors. The Kenntnisprüfung (KP) is a state-level knowledge exam for physicians whose medical degree from outside the EU is not fully equivalent to German standards. It’s usually required if significant differences are found during the recognition process. The exam focuses on Internal Medicine and Surgery, plus Emergency Medicine, Clinical Pharmacology, Imaging, Radiation Protection, and Medical Law. It’s typically an oral-practical exam, with a case presentation followed by clinical discussion – all in German. You’re expected to structure your answers clearly: history, examination, diagnostics, differential diagnoses, therapy, and prognosis.
