Danke horsedoc.

In my country the information about how to work in German as Assistenzarzt is very difficult to get. This might happen because the language issues.

Mind if I ask, in which state in German that Assistenzarzt being paid for the job? Because I heard that not all state will paid foreign physician that work at the klinik.

Oh so it is true. It just there is to lack of information we could get here, so I just find a puzzle and try to confirm it.

In my country if you want to be specialist in medicine than you have to pay almost more than 20.000 Euro and its equal than 3 years working salary. That is why its to difficult for an an ordinary fresh graduate.

Danke pottmed.

Correct me if i am wrong but i think That's not true regarding graduates of non European med schools since they aren't paid for the residency .

That's the response i got after E-mailing the university of Essen regarding a fellowship in cardiology.

Dear Dr. ****,

please find enclosed a list with the documents you need for getting a work permit in Germany. You also need to show a grant that you get 2500 Euro every month. You will not be paid in this time from our hospital.
The full cardiology training will last 6 years (3 years of internal medicine additional to 3 years of cardiology).
Please let me know what you would like to do.

Kind regards

Pottmed is absolutely right- generally speaking: all regularly employed resident doctors with an ordinary work contract are paid their salaries.

Those trainees, Fellows etc. from abroad wishing to supplement their training will sometimes have to demonstrate their funding, if they are *not employed* by the hospital itself. For e.g. we used to have trainees from lybia etc., who where send to us from their government in order to complete their subspecialty training. Those people received their salary from their respective home countries and were not paid by our hospital.

Of course this kind of people used to be quite welcome- they work, train, conduct research, participate in patient care (if allowed to do so) and don't cost the department a single penny
