DoppelFacharzt psychiatrie und neurologie

[tarumo]

Yes, there is a shortage of physicians in nearly every discipline. But this is due to the working conditions and will not change in the immediate future, because the government opted for "cheap-labour" immigrants from outside EU instead. As of the "bright research" conditions, there are a couple of Universitätsklininken running at the verge of bankrupcy, some have been sold to private investors who seek to squeeze even more money of of them- even for the price of de-installing never-used, worldclass, but expensive equipment, and a couple of others have earned a very poor reputation among employees and patients alike. Use your langugage skills and try to find out the cities..
Yes, the usual contract should be ~ 3000 EUR, but some employers will find ways (there are a couple of them) to circumnavigate this, and in any case you would be taxed with 50%. Living in a big city will set you back another 500 -600EUR or so for the rent, so calculate for yourself. By the way, the gross minimum salary in Switzerland is about 4000-4500 EUR, and you would have to pay 20% taxes...

You must not assume that German hospital CEOs and head of departments are men of honour.
That's right, no Klingons here!
Qapla'!

Thanks for the replies. What about uniklinik in big cities like Berlin? Some friends told me that it's very difficult to get into them without a mastery of the language, about C2 level (at least for psychiatry) and that competition is fiercy since most graduated wants to come there. More possibilities after 3 years of ausbildung in non uniklnik places. Any suggestion? Is this true?

Fierce competition for psychiatry jobs?! :-)) Yeah, right.

But language is certainly an issue.

For psychiatrist jobs in uniklinik like charitè, without prior experience

From the Charite thread @pj-forum

Ich glaube, an der Charite selbst gibt es nur noch externe PJler. Die Einheimischen meiden den Laden wie die Pest. :-))

As for the conditions concerning salary, working conditions, financial situation and building conditions@Charite, check for yorself. last thing I heard last week that wealthy arabs are not coming anymore because it´s raining through the roof. Sounds like a bright future :-)

Just a little update on the Charite

Not sure if you can read if you aren´t a subscriber... Charite had to close children´s emergency room during nighttime and weekends from last week onwards due to a lack of physicians. In fact, according to the article, there a only eight (8) physicians off-duty due to long-known reasons like pregnancy, but the Charite (which should be among the largest hospitals in Germany) has either not the willingness nor the resources to replace that small number. Really sounds for brilliant resources to do research (haven´t heard such from Harvard etc..). If you are lucky, you could try and find some forum members from Charite to give you first-hand impression (as long as they have some spare time to go to Internet after work...)
