• Introduction
Unlike the Canada, Australia, and the UK, the steps needed for getting a medical license in Switzerland depends on two things:
Nationality | Where you studied medicine |
• Question 1: Are you or your spouse (wife/husband) a national of an EU/EFTA country?
What are the EFTA countries?
The European Free Trade Association (EFTA) consists of four countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland
Yes | No |
Congratulations. You do not need any exams!🥳🥳🥳 Please continue to question number 2. | The steps are very complicated. You have to take an exam, and it’s hard to find a job. We will write an article about it later. “Registration of a non-recognizable diploma” |
• Question 2: The requirements depend on where you completed your medical studies:
EU/EFTA country | Somewhere else in the world |
Direct recognition | Indirect recognition |
