• Introduction to “specialized”
The Agency for Employment (🇩🇪 die Agentur für Arbeit) (a governmental agency for employment in Germany) helps Jordanian and Mexican doctors in everything so that they can begin working and “specializing” (🇩🇪 die Facharztausbildung) in Germany. They help with the application process for the medical license, visa, recognition of the medical studies, learning language, training in hospitals and finding a job. I think that one get paid a little amount of money too. This is great!
The program is called “specialized“.
• The conditions for application
- Mexican or Jordanian citizenship
- Main residence in Mexico or Jordan

Before sending the email, our website contains all information regarding the steps, required documents, exams, visa, and everything you can imagine. If I were at your place, I would first read at least the essential articles before sending my email. The employees usually do not have a lot of time and if they did not like your emails (because they show that you know nothing about Germany!), then I think it would not be a nice thing.
Before our website, no one could have explained it to you in one place and in such easy language. Now, we do:

• If you read anything you did not understand?
Again, save contacting the authority for very important questions. Ask your question first in our main groups and see if you get help. It is free!
• No help for other nationalities?
I do not know why the two above countries were chosen. But foreign doctors from other nationalities can also profit from the “Agentur für Arbeit”. They could get funding for their courses. Details here:
