To pursue a PG medical residency in Germany after completing MBBS from Russia and passing FMGE in India, you need to:

1. Get Your Medical Degree Recognized – Apply for Approbation (medical license) through the State Health Authority in Germany.

2. Prove Language Proficiency – Achieve B2-level general German and C1-level medical German.

3. Pass Licensing Exams – Clear Fachsprachprüfung (FSP) (medical language test) and possibly Kenntnisprüfung (KP) (knowledge assessment).

These steps will allow you to enter a residency program in Germany.

Hello Aarti,

To pursue PG medical residency in Germany after completing MBBS from Russia and passing FMGE in India , you need to fulfill the following eligibility criteria:

1. German Language Proficiency

• Minimum B2 level (recommended C1) in German (required for licensing exams and patient interaction).
  
  
• Pass FSP (Fachsprachprüfung) – a German medical language test.
  
  2. Medical License Recognition

• Apply for Approbation (permanent medical license in Germany).
  
  
• Submit documents like MBBS degree, FMGE result, internship details, and work experience.
  
  
• Some states may require Gleichwertigkeitsprüfung (knowledge exam) if MBBS is not fully recognized.
  
  3. Internship or Hospitation

• A clinical observership (Hospitation) in Germany (1-6 months) helps in networking for residency.
  
  4. Residency Application

• After getting Approbation, apply for Facharztweiterbildung (PG residency) in hospitals.
  
  
• Unlike India, no entrance exam ; selection is based on interviews.
  
  5. Financial Proof

• If applying for visa, show around €11,208/year in a blocked account (if not employed).
