WHAT do you need to know about Medical Training in Germany?

The Medical PG Training Program in Germany is known for its dynamic practical training model, high quality of skills and education, and a low tuition cost. Coupled that with the fact that Germany has one of the best healthcare systems in the world and that German trained Medical Specialists are regarded highly across the world, pursuing Postgraduate Medical Education in Germany has emerged as a favourable pathway after MBBS for many medical students in India.

IF YOU’RE AN INDIAN MEDICAL STUDENT CONSIDERING DOING YOUR PG TRAINING, HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Depending on the choice of their specialisation, a PG aspirant can take up to 60 to 72 months to complete their medical PG training in Germany.
In order to practice medicine in Germany, candidates need to clear the German Approbation exam. Approbation is the license that allows you (replace with Medical Professional?) to practice in the country. In order to clear the Approbation exam, students need to demonstrate their language proficiency in German as well as their medical knowledge and skills, which they do via the Fachsprachprufung (FSP) exam and the Kenntnisprüfung (KP) exam.
Students need to demonstrate that they can not only communicate comfortably in German, but also their familiarity and comfort with medical jargon in the language.
(Talk about the Niche-FiBMed program. Need to refer to the About section for this point).
The tuition fees of our Program is 19280 euros. The fees is divided in two parts, with 5000* euros payable in India (in the equivalent value of rupee), and the remaining 14280 euros is remitted to Germany. (This cost includes?) *Please note the Indian payment attracts an 18% GST.

HOW does our Medical PG in Germany program work?

Once enrolled into the Niche-FiBMed program, training begins with students taking their first steps towards mastering the German language. As students begin working on their paperwork process (Visa and other documentations), they also start with learning German.v
Learning a new language can often be daunting. However, our program is designed to help students learn basic German and acquire a B2 level of competency with ease before they leave for Germany. To be competent in German at the B2 level takes students approximately 490 hours of preparation and practice.
Around the same time, our online phase of medical training begins, running parallel to the language course. This includes modules and regular online sessions on topics connected to medical terminology in German. This helps students get familiar with medical jargon in German before their arrival in Germany. (a big asset for clearing FSP sooner?)
We also arrange for students to have monthly (one-on-one?) Skype sessions with the Course Director (based in Germany?), who helps in assessing their language skills and also provides necessary guidance if needed. C1 level — 100 hours (In India or Germany?)*

Upon reaching Germany, the onsite phase of the program begins at our campus in Bonn, Germany, where, over a period of 10 months, students undergo practical training and preparation for passing the Fachsprachprufung (FSP) exam and KP exam. (TEMPORARY LICENSING EXAM)
Students do an Internship / Hospitation in a German hospital which provides them them opportunity to apply their language skills, especially within the medical context, while interacting with patients in a real-life hospital setting. This experience, coupled with the program’s extensive workshops and FSP mock exams, empowers students with the necessary skills and confidence to successfully clear the FSP exam.
The next stage after the Fachsprachprufung (FSP) exam is the Kenntnisprüfung (KP) exam, the permanent licensing exam which leads to Approbation (permanent registration in Germany). Students attend workshops, practice sessions and KP mock exams conducted by Senior Professors from the medical field. Subjects covered during these workshops include Medicine, Surgery, Pharmacology, Radiation Protection and Medical Law.
Once a student successfully clears the KP licensing exam, it takes about 1-3 months for the student to be assigned a PG Training Position at a training hospital in Germany.
