Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about employing international doctors in your clinic. Need more details? Contact our team — we’re here to assist.
What are the legal requirements for hiring doctors from outside the EU?
The doctor must have their medical qualification officially recognized (Approbation or Berufserlaubnis) and hold a valid work permit under the Skilled Immigration Act (Fachkräfteeinwanderungsgesetz). We assist with both steps.
How is a foreign doctor’s qualification recognized in Germany?
Each federal state has a designated recognition authority (Approbationsbehörde) that compares foreign medical degrees to German standards. HR digi. manages the process and document preparation on your behalf.
What level of German do international doctors need to work?
Most states require B2 or C1 level German plus a passed Fachsprachprüfung (medical language exam). We ensure our candidates meet or exceed these requirements before placement.
How does the visa process work for doctors from abroad?
Doctors apply for a national work visa through the German embassy in their country, usually after receiving conditional recognition and a job offer. We guide candidates and clinics through this process.
Are there financial support programs for clinics hiring international doctors?
Some regional programs may support onboarding or language training costs. HR digi. can inform you about relevant funding opportunities, if available for your clinic.
How can we support the integration of international doctors?
We recommend providing structured onboarding, mentorship, and cultural orientation. HR digi. offers consultation and pre-arrival preparation to facilitate smooth adaptation.
Do we need to register international doctors with social insurance?
Yes. As with any employee, clinics must register foreign doctors with German social security institutions (health, pension, unemployment, and accident insurance).
Can HR digi. assist with accommodation support for doctors?
Yes. We help doctors secure housing before arrival, easing their transition and ensuring readiness for work on day one.
What role does intercultural communication play in integration?
A culturally aware workplace boosts retention and team harmony. We advise on intercultural sensitivity and offer tips for creating inclusive environments.
How can our clinic support the family reunification of a foreign doctor?
Spouses of skilled professionals are usually entitled to work permits. HR digi. advises on the visa process and supports family integration planning.
What should we consider when it comes to salary and contracts?
Contracts must comply with German labor law and pay must meet legal minimums and industry standards. We provide contract templates and legal consultation if needed.
Is professional experience from abroad recognized in Germany?
Yes, documented experience can enhance salary levels and ease recognition. We ensure all relevant documentation is translated and submitted during the process.
What happens if there are legal changes to immigration or employment law?
We monitor policy updates from BAMF and the Ministry of the Interior, and proactively inform our partner clinics of relevant changes.
How can we help foreign doctors improve their language skills on the job?
We recommend continuous language support through certified courses and conversational practice. We can connect you with local providers or arrange in-clinic training.
What social integration support can we offer to help retention?
Encourage participation in local activities, offer peer mentoring, and maintain regular feedback sessions. HR digi. can help you build a doctor-friendly workplace culture.
