Medical work in Germany & Hospitation – Intensive Course

Physicians from third countries have to learn languages and specialist knowledge quickly in order to keep up with the pace of work in German hospitals. In contrast to all the language courses which focus only on the German language, this course aims at providing additional content-related subject matter. Thus, we help not only overcome language barriers but also prepare you for a career entry in the best possible way.
