Two different things often get mixed up here:
• The general language certificate (telc, Goethe, ÖSD, etc.) at B2 is usually what you need to register for the FSP. Most chambers accept any recognized provider at the required level — it is the level that matters, not the brand.
• The Fachsprachprüfung itself is the C1-level medical language exam; passing it is what proves your clinical German.
• “telc B2-C1 Medizin” is a separate medical-language exam that some Bundesländer accept in place of the chamber’s own FSP — but not all do.
So: confirm with your Ärztekammer (1) which general certificate and level they want for registration, and (2) whether they accept telc Medizin instead of their own FSP. Don’t buy a specific course before you have that answer in writing.
