Great video!! Thank you :)

Thank you very much for the efforts.

Very Informative vedio sir thank you very much

Thanks alot!1 Please do mor e videos with more information about your Docto's live in Switzerland!

Thank you so much for your generous explanations ! We really appreciate it =) i've been interested in Switzerland for a while and since i don't fit in the first 2 categories i'll have to follow the last option..so i was wondering wether they'd accept a specialist who completed the training in their home country or do they need some sort of evaluation/more training ? Thank you so much once again and have a great day =)

make more videos please about the situations in swiss plz

Hello. What is the procedure for applying medical reaidency in switzerland if we have done our mbbs outside europe??

If a person is NOT from the EU but have a Permanent residency permit in a EU country AND their Diploma is from the EU, what would be the case?

What's the steps if anyone work as an Anaesthesiologist after completing EDIAC. EDIAC is recognised in Switzerland.

Thanks! And congrats on this new chapter. I was wondering if I could ask you some questions. Im an EU - non-eu diploma holder, currently learning German to start my specialization in germany. medium term plan would be to move to Switzerland. Is there any other way of entering Switzerland, perhaps through some research, masters that then allows me to go into certain specializations? Would love to chat sometime.

Hello there :D Switzerland is very competitive depending on the specialty, and anything you do to become a more attractive doctor in your employer´s eyes will be welcomed. It wont, however guarantee anything. So Answering your question, I dont think that a masters or research can guarantee a position as a resident.

What if an Indian doctor clears Edaic 1 and 2?...is it recognized then?

when you do a residency in germany that's 5 years are you considered like you worked those 3 years or you have to do so as a facharzt?

Thank you so much for the information. My medical degree has already been registered since one year. I have studied medicine in Pakistan and now I’m living in Zurich. I haven’t applied for the residency (Weiterbildung) yet because I’m currently improving my language skills. My question is that for doctors it’s a necessary to work as Assistenzarzt first and after training we should give the federal exam? How can I good prepare for the exam I mean the book which I’ll read should also be in German? Thanks

Hi there, thanks for your comment I don't think that working as Assistenzarzt is a requirement to do the exam, although most people that do the exam are already Assistenzärzte. Honestly I believe that the everyday experience from working will provide you already with a lot of the knowledge needed for the exam.

thank you for this update im glad you seem much more relaxed in this video! I found the cantons that accepted people were: - geneva and bern (they were the most accepting) - then some other smaller cantons also did - Zurich wasnt accepting probably because of higher dr supply Although its worth mentioning i've yet to hear a success story of someone with non-eu ties making it in switzerland because: 1. mebeko will not recognize your diploma (which hospital wants to hire sm like that) 2. hospitals will not take the risky move of making a visum for a non-eu dr. The swiss have stringent (ie. impossible) non-eu immigration laws. how do you find it in ch? i look forward to your next video!

Hi, great video! I have a small question which maybe you explained but I might not have got it. I am a non-Eu citizen from Canada with a EU medical diploma (recently finished my medical studies in Romania). I am curently in France studying French and I wish to work in Switzerland. From my knowledge in order for me to work in Switzerland with my diploma I must get a Apostile de Haga stamp. Now my question is which type of aprobation do I fall into since it is a bit of a tricky case seeing as I am not an EU citizen and have not yet started working?

@EutopianDoctor

As a non EU you don't qualify for direct or indirect ones. Because your diploma is from EU you also don't quite qualify for the registration. I haven't found a kind of recognition that fits you perfectly. Maybe you should email MEBEKO directly and ask them directly

The experience worked in germany can be recognized in Switzerland. When it comes to "where" you can work, you can work anywhere, just keep in mind that in order to become a specialist in Switzerland you need to spend some time in an A hospital. Normally as you transition from germany to Switzerland you go first o a C or B hospital because it´s easier and as you get used to the new country eventually you apply to an A in order to finish the specialty

Hello, thank you so much for such an informative video! Couple of questions though: 1. Do I have to be in Switzerland to apply for the registration of non-recognizable diploma? How long does this process usually take? 2. After getting my diplom registered, I can work in private sector right? So how easy is it to get a job in the private clinics? And is the salary good? 3. Do I have to have necessarily practiced in the country where I completed medical university OR my license to practice and experience from any country counts?
