For HR, Chief Physicians, and Clinic Management

When a short conversation is worthwhile

A phone call makes sense if you:

✓Unable to reliably fill assistant physician or specialist positions
✓international physician recruitment, but want to realistically assess the approval process, timeline, and effort
✓wish to know if verified doctor profiles are available for your specialty and seniority
✓not just résumés, but profiles with language proficiency, documentation status, and approval timeline
✓need to clarify internally what steps HR, the chief physician, and management should prepare

Typical questions before the first conversation

„How long does the placement of international doctors realistically take?„
„What specializations and seniority levels are available?„
„This is a common point of confusion. Here's the difference: * **Berufserlaubnis (Professional License/Permit):** This is a temporary authorization that allows you to practice a regulated profession in Germany, often under supervision or with specific limitations. It's usually granted when you haven't yet obtained the full "Approbation." For example, a foreign-trained doctor might get a "Berufserlaubnis" to work as a resident physician while their qualifications are being fully recognized. * **Approbation (Full Professional License):** This is the official, permanent, and unrestricted license to practice a regulated profession in Germany. It signifies that your qualifications have been fully recognized by the German authorities, and you meet all the necessary requirements to practice independently. For professions like doctors, dentists, and pharmacists, the "Approbation" is essential for independent practice. In essence: * **Berufserlaubnis** is a temporary pass. * **Approbation** is the full, permanent qualification.„
„How secure is the approval process?„
„Is a pilot worth it, or is the effort too high?„

We will clarify these exact questions in the first conversation.
