Are you a doctor and would like to work in Germany?
To obtain your medical license (Approbation) in Germany, you must successfully pass the specialist language examination (Fachsprachprüfung). In addition to medical terminology, it is especially important to communicate confidently and accurately with patients in German.
To learn German quickly, at a high level of quality, and in a goal-oriented way, IBZ Dortmund offers intensive courses. If you are not yet in Germany, we recommend our online German courses – allowing you to practice German flexibly anytime and anywhere.
In addition to general language skills (reading, listening, writing, speaking, and grammar), you will learn everything that is essential for your professional daily routine, for example:
Anatomy, physiology, and clinical conditions
Taking medical history and conducting physical examinations
Medical consultations and patient counseling
Discussing findings and treatment options
Talking about anxiety, pain, and symptoms
Conducting difficult conversations (e.g., delivering bad news)
Ward rounds and handovers
Medical documentation
Emergencies and emergency department
Communication in the operating room (OR)
Palliative medicine
