Medical Specialization

Question

Is cardiology specialization in demand in Germany and easy to obtain?
In which states are the FSP/KP appointments the fastest?

Welcome 🌸 There is a high demand for cardiologists in Germany, as there is a significant shortage of doctors specializing in this field, especially in small towns and rural areas. Therefore, job opportunities for foreign doctors are excellent, provided they have a good knowledge of medical language and pass the individual stages of the doctor licensing procedure (Approbation). The dates of the medical language exam (FSP) and the medical specialization exam (KP) vary from state to state. However, I advise you not to choose a state based on the waiting period only, but to start the licensing procedures in the state in which you wish to live and work in the future, because transferring your documents later to another state may lead to further delays in the procedures.
