Hey, thank you sooo much for your videos, they are truly life saving ❤ I'm currently in my 6th year of medical school in Greece, but I'm 99% sure I'll apply for my residency in Germany. I'm currently trying to decide on a specialty (considering mostly Gynäkologie, then anesthesia and innere) it would be really helpful if you could make a video about the conditions in some fields in Germany, as well as which specialties are in demand and in which it will be really hard to find a position. Also if you have any idea on what they look for when they look at CVs it would be very nice. I know it's a lot to ask 😅 thank you very much again for all your help

Great content, as always. I've always been curious: which criteria you used when opting the place to first start your journey jn Germany (Approbation)? And when you opted for your specialization? Thanks for the content!!

hey....your videos are really informative.... can you kindly tell what is the duration of residency in Pedriatics....or can you please do a video on duration of residencies in various fields, like internal medicine, paeds, neurology, etc ...it will be really helpful.

Dear Eutopia, Thank you for your videos. They are very usefull since I’m planning to come to Germany to specialize. I just wanted to ask if you have some infos about MKG specialty (it’s really difficult to fine direct experience)

I am a bit surprised about the salary. I work as a resident doctor in Denmark. We work an average of 37h pr. week with a higher base salary it seems.

You are legend

Hi doc , please make a video on international medical graduates pathway to do PG in germany . Thanks.

I thought night shifts weren’t taxable, so that means you get at the end of the month 4000 euros net to approximately?

hi dr, can i ask if there's a medical school in Germany that is taught in English?

is edaic recognised in Germany? is yes what is the further process if one has cleared both parts of edaic

Is a minimum of 2 years experience needed to apply for Specialty in germany or you can start right away after graduation?

I heard something about learning as a resident in german hospital They say there is lack in clinical experience and real learning But there is more of papers work and stuff like that Is that true? Do you advise us as a new graduated general doctors to come to Germany to get magistrate?

does this salary including the night shifts, include taxes? if not what's the tax rate ?

Is there any age that is limited to come in Germany as a General Doctor not specialist? Please give me a answer!

I don’t understand. That amount of aprox 4000 it’s just for the night shifts or it’s the total amount??

Hey, Dr. Guillermo, Good Morning! I was curious as to why you left Spain in order to pursue Medicine in another country of EU (Germany). What pulled you specifically to Germany and not France or England or Ireland etc. Also, what were the types of cases or Problems generally handed out (or at least the ones you faced) in the Fachsprachprüfung? Would be great if you could touch any of the above topics on your next video! A fan of what you've been doing! Great job and keep up the good work and keep uploading more of such informative videos! Thank you!

Hello There! I wanted to leave Spain because it is badly paid. When deciding where to go I considered all countries based on demand for doctors and payment and difficulty learning the Language. I discarded Ireland because the offer of Doctors was already equal or greater than demand. I discarded UK because it was leaving the EU. I picked Germany because it had overall a good salary, huge demand for doctors and other countries such as Switzerland and Austria also speak the language and also pay well. Other great choices to be considered were Sweden, Norway and Denmark

Im a recent Italian med in Germany preparing for the Goethe exam and still not sure which country... Besides the better pay, in Switzerland it seems I would need at least one year as Assistenzarzt before applying for residency? In Germany seems more straightforward, with more spots, and there are even agencies which help you with the application (do you know if they are worth it?) It would also be very nice to know the competitiveness of medical specialties in these countries, which I struggled to find anything reliable online. Cheers!

Having experience is not mandatory although appreciated. A big hospital won't hire you right away because other doctors that do have experience will have priority over you. A smaller hospital will. Overall in Germany there is a great need for medical doctors and I don't think you will have any problem finding a position as you start working

I have to mention that I would like Radiology , but , in the end, I would be ok also with something like Geriatry or Anesthesia and Intensive Care . Thanks !

9000 euro gross for a doctor is really small salary. Look informations about 2014 Swiss doctors salaries! Getting around 300k-700k franks annual! And it was in 2014! So now it's somewhere around 500k-1million annual gross salary. These are specialists salaries, obviously not young resident doctors. AS RADIOLOGIST my friend getting around 800.000 CHF gross annual what is around 530.000 CHF net. So it's around 44.000 CHF net monthly salary what is around 42.000 Euro . So yes 9000 euro gross monthly is like nothing for a Physician!

@@vikvuk4167 in germany doctors can earn more if they have their own practice (it depends on speciality). Some doctors even make millions because they are best in their career. But they cant really enjoy the money they make because they have to work a lot and they have a lot of responsibility and the life/work balance is not good at all. 9000 euro gross is also a good money and you dont really have much problem for living and you can have time for yourself too.FYI doctors make more money in Switzerland and that's why there are so many german doctors there.
