In this guide you'll find the main job listing sites for doctors, organized by country, so you can focus your search on the platforms most used by hospital recruiters and HR managers in the healthcare sector.

Germany

A Tip Before You Apply

Regardless of the country and portal you choose, remember that to work as a doctor in German-speaking countries, having your qualification recognized is not enough: solid language competence in the medical field is required, up to the specialized C1 level.

In Germany, for example, it is mandatory to pass the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP) before being allowed to practice. In Austria and Switzerland, the competent authorities evaluate on a case-by-case basis, but solid language preparation always makes a difference — both for obtaining authorization to practice and for confidently handling job interviews.

With RevolingoMed you can prepare with medical German courses designed specifically for doctors, guiding you all the way through preparation for the FSP.
