MedConnect: ten international doctors celebrate an important milestone

Successful certificate presentation in Hamburg

Ten international doctors taking part in the ESF-funded project “MedConnect: building bridges for international doctors” have successfully completed their specialist medical language examination. At a ceremony in ASKLEPIOS Klinik Wandsbek, participants were presented with certificates recognising their achievements. This successful completion marks an important step towards a German medical licence (Approbation), and they are now preparing for the medical knowledge examination.

MedConnect creates opportunities for international professionals

The project, delivered by ibu and funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) , supports international doctors during the recognition process and as they enter the German labour market. Alongside preparation for specialist medical language and medical knowledge examinations, MedConnect supports participants with language, specialist and professional challenges.

Strong partnerships for successful integration

Dirk Heyden, Managing Director of Jobcenter team.arbeit.hamburg, also attended the certificate presentation. He praised the participants' achievements and emphasised the importance of these routes into employment. The Hamburg Welcome Center is currently supporting many international doctors on their journey towards professional recognition in Germany.

MedConnect is delivered through close cooperation between ibu gmbh, Jobcenter team.arbeit.hamburg, the Hamburg Welcome Center and a range of healthcare facilities and hospitals.

Skilled professionals for tomorrow's healthcare

With demand for skilled healthcare staff growing, MedConnect opens up a wide range of career opportunities for participants. Hospitals and healthcare facilities in northern Germany particularly benefit from the training of international doctors and targeted networking with potential employers.
