No Job Without a Specialist Language Exam!
For some time now, medical associations in the federal states have required the so-called specialist language exam. This exam assesses both professional and linguistic (C1 level) competence of foreign doctors. It lasts one hour and costs between €300 and €500.
Although the procedure for the exams slightly varies from state to state, the general process is as follows:

• Detailed medical history interview (20 minutes)
• Filling out a medical history form or writing a brief medical report (20 minutes)
• Doctor-to-doctor conversation. Presentation of the patient with follow-up questions from the examiners (20 minutes)

In a 4-week preparation course for this specialist language exam, we cover up to 50 cases and discuss them in detail. Participants learn questioning techniques, note-taking structure, coherent dialogue management, and professional presentation. Additionally, we practice terminology (Latin/German – German/Latin) in group sessions. Contemporary medical-academic texts are also written, and grammatical deficiencies are identified, explained, and corrected where necessary.
