April and May positions for healthcare workers in Austria, Germany and Switzerland

A volatile April brought new open positions for healthcare professionals in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The competitions are open during April and May, and knowledge of the German language is a mandatory prerequisite.

Austrian hospitals have the greatest need for doctors specializing in internal medicine, pulmonology, radiology, pediatrics and gastroenterology. Austria offers excellent offers to doctors without specialization who have a C1 certificate in German and are interested in specialization in Austria.

Germany is also looking for doctors with and without specialization who know German at B2 level and would like to continue building their career in Germany. Competitions are open to specialists in gynecology, anesthesia, pediatrics, internal medicine, radiology, traumatology, emergency medicine, psychiatry, rheumatology, pulmonology, cardiology, neurology and nephrology.

Switzerland, on the other hand, has only one simple prerequisite – knowledge of the German language at the B2 level. In this country, tenders have been announced for all healthcare workers, so it is a real opportunity to apply and continue your career in one of the most advanced healthcare systems.

German-speaking countries are among the most frequently chosen destinations of many Croats due to the relatively short distance from family and friends, good standard and quality of life. Working conditions are better than in the domestic healthcare system, although not perfect. Doctors’ salaries ensure a good standard of living, opportunities for advancement are numerous, and various educations and seminars are available. In addition, advanced diagnostic equipment and tools facilitate daily work and enable better patient care.

Austria, Germany and Switzerland offer rich opportunities for free time. Whether you are a lover of culture, history or gourmet food – this region has it all. The rich history and culture provided opportunities to visit beautiful exhibitions in museums, preserved old castles or other times through literature, and besides local, there are also excellent gourmet specialties of different cuisines.
