Eres el mejor, estás salvando a mucha gente del MIR! Sigue así!
as always, very valuable video! I will keep in mind your input when I apply next year for the job. Thank you, Eutopia
Thank you so much for this video. I did an elective in ENT/HNO twice in Essen and all almost the medical students were planning to move to Switzerland afterwards and wondered what the process would be like for me. You're the best!
Hi doc! Your video is very helpful. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for this video!!
Your video is so useful thank u 🙏🏾
your videos are gold for evry medical doctor
Finally a video!! We missed you! Regarding the interviews, could you make a video about Germany? Is it the same as Switzerland?

I didnt make one about Germany because it is a much easier process. It is also a non-regulated process and it follows the same steps as in Switzerland. The difference is that the demand for doctors in Germany is much higher and as a consequence the Interview process tends to be much easier
Hi, I loved the video! You definitely simplified everything! In your opinion, in which category does the plastic and reconstructive surgery belong to? Thanks 🙌🏻
Vielen Dank 👍👍
Hi, thanks for all the precious information. As far ad you know, are recommendation letters important to be taken in a hospital? Do you think that an erasmus in swiss could help a doctor to get in?

They are important to some degree. I know for a fact that the doctors that I wrote "recommending" me were called before I was offered a position. But this didnt happen for every hospital where I worked. So it seems to depend on each departments policy and way of processing candidates.
In Switzerland is there considering properties to get PR and get a job? For non eu citizens
Hello mr Utopia! I wanted to ask what do you think from your experience is the budget that needs to have a new first year resident when first comes to swiss? I mean if i get accepted in a hospital for my first year of residency what are the costs that i will have to pay immediatly? like a 3month rent? Thanks for the support!!!! love your content keep up!

Hey, I wanted to ask if you need to have 3 years of working experience after EU diploma to start a private practice in switzerland?
I'd like to apply to anesthesiology, what do you reckon?
Great video, I'm thinking about studying in Italy and after that go for residency to US, Australia or Switzerland, so it is informative thank you :)
Could you please do a comparison with Germany about which specialities are easy to get into and which are not? Im talking about something like neurology or some general surgery stuff ( specialities in between that are generally not in crazy demand like dermatology but not as much abandoned like rehabilitation and stuff ) how much chance would an EU graduate doctor from Spain would have to get into the mid-range specialities that i mentioned in RURAL areas in Germany in comparison to a C type hospital in Swtizerland ? Thank you for the videos - very helpful ✌️

Depends on the Hospital, in some Hospitals they do rotate to Emergencies/Ambulance So far its very competitive and hard to find a position

Difficult :) but you can try Or you can do 1-2 year of internal diseases ( which should count for the specialty) and then swap to cardiology :)

Great and very helpful video for the residents. I wish I stumbled upon your channel earlier when I myself was still a resident. Is there any chance you could make the same video but for specialists? Thank you in advance!

I meant that finding a position is hard for foreigners, even if you live here already and don’t need to apply for a Visa. If you never had experience here, the fact you had x years working in Canada/USA won’t help much. I know people who are redoing the residency here. The fact they had experience helped, but it doesn’t mean it made it easier. About the recognition of residency here, i don’t know. I just know it’s possible when it was made in Germany.

And please, could you compare the savings(discretionary income) of a German doc to a Swiss one? Because it's very obvious salaries are higher in Switzerland, but it would be important to also know how much one would have left after dealing with the high cost of living in Switzerland. I eagerly anticipate your next video.. It has been months 😭
