Study plan for the knowledge test (Kenntnisprüfung)

Foreign-trained physicians obtaining a medical license (Approbation) in Germany

‍

To practice medicine in Germany, foreign-trained physicians must have their medical qualifications recognized by passing the Kenntnisprüfung (knowledge test). Sufficient knowledge of the German language is also a requirement. Physicians can learn the correct German medical terms and treatment recommendations according to German guidelines with AMBOSS.

‍

‍For participants in the oral-practical knowledge examination (Kenntnisprüfung), we also provide a study plan.
