Is it possible to study one of the "Zusatzweiterbildungen" as a GP?

[DNIM]

Dear colleagues

Is it possible for a foreign general practitioner to study one of the "Zusatz-Weiterbildungen" like Allergologie or Naturheilverfahren in Germany without becoming a medical specialist(Facharzt) there?


Many thanks in advance

I think so because the former "Praktischer Arzt" was allowed to do that. The actual German GP (Facharzt für Allgemeinmedizin) is a medical specialist, however.
Nevertheless you should ask the Landesärztekammer of the federal state where you are going to work.

By the way ...
Those "Zusatzweiterbildung" is not being STUDIED.

You don't do that at a university or a college or something like that.
When aiming at getting such a certficiate, you work in a clinic or a doctor's surgery. It's a specialised clinic (or department of a clinic) or a specialised doctor.
While there, you are supervised and instructed to learn everything you need to know.

Sometimes, there are some classes to attend, but you are - at any time - not attending university.

It's more like a professional training.

Well, to complete the nitpicking...
For nearly every Zusatzweiterbildung you have to attend a class and to pass an exam. Only then you will get a "Zusatzbezeichnung" (some call it "Gelddruckmaschine der Ärztekammern"). The medical societies or the "Landesärztekammern" usually offer these courses but not the universities, however.
