Hello Lisa! Was it hard to come to Switzerland as a specialist? Did you have to take any exams or did they just recognize your specialist title? Thank you for sharing!

@@radutodiras8196 Actually, it wasn't a Problem. My medical Degree is from the USA which would *not* have been recognized by Switzerland directly BUT I already had an Approbation from Hessen in Germany, so I could go the route of the "indirekte Anerkennung" of my diploma and I already had the Goethe Zertifikat C1 for German to fulfill the language requirement. Getting all the documents together for MedReg was a Little bit of a hassle, but my employer reimbursed me for the 800 CHF fee, like you mentioned in the Video. What's very weird is that I was already working here for 2 years before I was made Aware that all doctors have to be in MedReg. I kept asking "don't I Need a medical License here or something…?" lol.

Salut Radu !! In primul rând mulțumesc frumos pt ajutor, am și eu o întrebare, sunt tot la fel aceeași pași pt studenții araba ( străini ) care au învățat medicina generală in România ? Mulțumesc frumos !!
Wonderful video! I will be appreciated deeply if you can answer to my question. Have you done any exam to get the license to work in Switzerland? I'm studying medicine in Italy. After graduation, there's an exam for residency not for the license in Italy, but I don't know which exam I should pass after graduation to work in Switzerland...
Beeing a med student from a eu country(Czech Republic), would they require an exam to enter and start the residency?
Hello, Thank you for your video. May I ask in your opinion which hospital university in Switzerland has the best reputation in Orthopedic training??
Hi! Thank you so much for all the information, how long did it take you to learn German?
This Video was great i did almost all the things but sadly i do not how to apply for a job. i was considering if i should go there in person for like a week and go from hospital to hospital asking... or is there a website or do you just have to go to google and the city and go into each hospital website and start asking there ?
where did you do your graduate studies before residency? Can Swedish graduates do a residency in switzerland?
Hello, thank you for your video! Could you help me please. I don’t understand where I could found my postgraduate post? I’m looking in French speaking cantons
What is the level of difficulty of obtaining residency in Germany with a B2 level of German? Do you need to do a lot of interviews and wait a long time?
eu national dentist with 8 years experience with b2 german can a job be found.Тhanks in advance for the reply
Could you show an example of a motivation letter?
Once you get an offer how fast do you have to sign the contract? I heard lots of doctors abandon the post a few weeks/days before, can you keep your options open as late as possible?
is it possible to work directly as a specialist with residency from Denmark ?
Thanks for the video!! How strong was your CV (volunteering, Masters, work experience etc) when you applied to become a specialist? Also do you have any idea how competitive is Oral maxillofacial surgery in Switzerland? I'm planning on going to Switzerland after I get both md and dmd degrees. Thankss

First you must get your medical degree recognized in Switzerland. The steps are the same for all specialities. The trick is to find a job as a radiologist. It's not easy 😁
Hi, I would really like you to go into more details about how hard is it to get a certain speciality and what is the criteria. Is it possible to apply and get one right away or do you have to do some other work before that? If you don’t feel like making video it would be cool if you left your email for me to send you some questions. :) thank you!
Thank you so much! I was hoping either you or your girlfriend would make a video about this in English :D How did you pick which Kantone you wanted to work in? Do you have any recommendations?

We didn't pick. We went wherever we found the job. The highest paying cantons are in central Switzerland. I would say cantons Luzern, Solothurn, Aargau, Zug, Zürich are very good options. In this area there are also more hospitals spread out so you can live for example in Zürich and work in Olten in Kanton Solothurn or in Aarau Kanton Aargau. Considering that you have to change hospitals at least once, if you live in this area, you'll have an easier time to find another job without moving to another apartment.
