Objective

This self-pay course prepares foreign doctors for communication and interaction in everyday professional life and strengthens the communicative skills required for practicing their profession. Participants are thus also prepared for the Medical Language Test C1 in order to obtain the German professional license (Approbation).

Course contents

In classroom teaching (on-site presence or online presence), the relevant structures as well as the peculiarities of the professional competences in the area of communication and interaction are explained (for example, taking history, case presentation, patient consent, patient consultation, documentation). The medical language skills are taught with regard to the professional competencies and are practically trained.

Teaching material

The following textbooks are included in the course fees:

  • FIA Script (digital version)

Teachers

Course instructors are qualified teachers with appropriate degrees and educational aptitude.

Entry requirements

Exam

C1 Patient Communication Test (PKT) professional language at FIA:

For holders of a degree from an EU country, the FIA C1 PKT professional language for medicine / dentistry / pharmacy is currently recognized in the federal states of Hamburg and Hesse.

Holders of a degree from outside the EU must take the C1 professional language test offered only at the state medical associations in Hamburg and Hesse.

The PKT professional language Medicine and Pharmacy C1 of the FIA remains recognized as proof of sufficient professional language skills for all degrees in the federal state of Saarland. 

Those interested in the PKT professional language Dentistry C1 of the FIA are strongly recommended to contact the responsible authority before registering in order to have the recognition of the FIA professional language examination confirmed. 

The recognition of our PKT certificates is the responsibility of the licensing authorities in the respective federal states. We therefore recommend that you contact the licensing authority responsible for you in advance.

You can register for the C1 PKT for medicine here.
