Are you a doctor, dentist, or pharmacist with an international degree and looking to work in Germany? Our info portal covers everything you need to know - from visa and entry requirements to professional recognition in Germany, to tips for overcoming cultural barriers and advancing your career in Germany.

The information is organized into four sections, covering the following topics:

1) Travel preparation

You are a professional without a German professional license abroad. This section provides information on entry requirements and what you need to know about applying for professional recognition from abroad. 

The info articles in this chapter aim to help you obtain a German visa and successfully enter Germany.
 

2) Professional recognition

You are a professional without a German professional license within Germany. This section provides information on funding, subsidies, and an overview of qualification programs, as well as how to apply for professional recognition and opportunities for internships. 

This chapter provides all the information you need to obtain your professional recognition in order to work as a qualified professional in Germany.
 

3) Job search

You are a professional with a German professional license but no job within Germany. This section gives you tips on how to effectively showcase your skills and properly create your application materials to present yourself in the best light to potential employers. We also provide information on insurance options, tariffs, and what to look for in employment contracts. 

The goal of this chapter is to help you find a suitable job and successfully enter the German job market.
 

4) Career

You are a professional with a German professional license and employed in Germany. This section provides information about your rights and responsibilities, further training opportunities, and doctors' unions in Germany. 

The info articles in this chapter aim to help you advance your career through continuing education, specialization and training.
 

Our articles are written by international professionals themselves. We are a community that supports each other and shares valuable information to make the transition into the German healthcare system as smooth as possible. The content is based on personal experience and practical knowledge, so you will not only receive theoretical information but also real insights and helpful tips from firsthand experience.

Currently, the Freiburger Bund is still in the process of being established, so most of the articles are available in Chapter 1. However, our info portal will be continuously expanded: In the future, we will publish comprehensive content on all other topics. Our knowledge grows piece by piece – with and for our community.
