About the internship for a non-EU doctor
Postat: 10 aug 2015, 13:56
Hello guys !
I am a Non-EU medical student in my final year , and i'm planning to Come to sweden in order to do my Specialty training
Now i have read about the requirements and all the steps in the socialstyrelsen Website but i still have a couple of questions ..
They mentioned that there are the steps 3a and 3b for doctors without any considerable medical experience ,
And i quote :
" Applies to doctors of medicine without considerable medical experience:
Step 3a. Pass a medical knowledge test
The purpose of the test is to ensure that you have basic medical knowledge equivalent to a person with a Swedish doctor of medicine degree. The test consists of a theoretical and a practical part.
Step 3b. Pass internship
The internship consists of at least 18 months of internship divided between different fields of practice. It concludes with a knowledge test. "
Now my 1st question is :
- are we supposed to pass two knowledge tests?
One in the step ( 3a ) , and the other when we finish the internship ( 3b ) ? Or is it just one of them ?
My 2nd question is :
- how do we get that 18 months internship ? Should we apply directly to hospitals for it ( just like applying for a specialty training position )?
or is it Socialstyrelsen that help us through that procedure ?
My third question :
- is it true that there is somehow the possibility of studying a year in a swedish medical shcool , at the end of which we do no longer have to pass the knowledge test ? If yes how much does it cost any ideas about that ?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
