They’ve come a long way – to be confronted with an even longer licensure process in Germany: Syrian doctors in Germany
Germany, like many other regions around the world, relies on international doctors to supplement its locally trained medical staff and support their health care system. However, Syrian doctors who have immigrated to Germany have reported being confronted with a convoluted and difficult application process to obtain their medical licenses. Professor Julika Loss and colleagues, from the University of Regensburg, interviewed Syrian doctors, who had immigrated to Germany, to report on their experience of the medical license application system. In this blog, Professor Loss tells us more about their study, published this week in BMC Health Services Research.
