Point of correction. The level of German knowledge required right now is B2 and that language is not easy at all.(doesn't compare with ielts)Also the process of processing documents and clearing exams doing it from outside that country is not a joke. It sounds easy because that lady was living in that country with her husband.
I don't think she made it sound easy at all.. it sounds really difficult but if someone is interested in that path for whatever reason, they can be encouraged that its possible
The language is no joke, as I said I even repeated what I thought I knew😂 Processing documents: I did it during COVID so everything took long. Exams were even cancelled. Now things are moving faster...some regions of Germany are slower than others. I'm in Bayern
So sorry about my clunky editing😭 this is all me.. my production team was too busy with other things.. and now its too late. I was thinking of putting it down and re-uploading? hmm what do you think if you watched?
This was so nice listening too. You ladies are making us proud. I get so excited when I see a black doctor in scrubs here, but it’s rare. Is she on UA-cam?
@@amandaakatukunda What ? you don't know Milly? She's amazing! i feel like she's living my future dream life of when the kids are grown up.. I love her home, style, hair..etc..etc.. she also has a channel just for her home..follow follwo 🙂
Grew up speaking English, was taught in English, but getting that 7 in IELTs writing was a struggle, I cannot imagine starting to learn German and passing the language test😂😂😂 Their licensure exams seem so easy though, its like its just there for formality purposes 😂. Well done Amanda for making it thus far.
So true.. it sounds difficult to me too..but mind over matter.. where there is a will... there is a way 😄 i guess if things were bad enough where i was.. its a good option to consider
Dear Amanda you have just motivated me, i am a medical student in Nigeria, i don't know anyone in Germany, and i don't know all the procceses but am going to try, am going to work hard and am going to try, thank you for sharing i appreciate and i wish you more success ahead
By the way child care is also such an issue in Uganda. Us working mums really struggle. But what makes it easier, is the possibility to get into my car and drive to my mothers house, or sisters house and just breathe.. That sense of community and family. I would really struggle if I moved countries.
Pleaaase Enjoy this privelage. It’s a big one . Abroad is very very exhausting with kids and needs a lot 5X more resilience because no one will ever come to your rescue and you are only with your spouse . Working shifts here and there and rent is soo tough can be almost half or more of a monthly pay check
Sounds easy. It’s a possibility if your willing to put in the work. You can use resources like skill share and UA-cam to learn German in 3-6 months. Well done Amanda. Great podcast Cissy
Fellow Ugandan from Jinja. Am in my 3rd year med in Hungary Europe. I've been advised to go to Germany after here. Am starting the language in 4th year. Will be there in 2028!
Thank you so much for sharing Amanda's story! There are so many opportunities all over the world. As someone who has lived in the USA for over 5 years, I don't think the USA is that bad. And in terms of payment/salary; those who are fully qualified attendings/consultants get the big bucks, but the trainees get enough to get by. But inflation is not helping; things are tough out here too; especially for trainees (residents and fellows).
USA does sound way better in terms of money.. Een today Consultants in the UK are on strike citing better pay elsewher like the US. Also the racism issue isnt that much different..someone who knows better was saying it can be worse in the UK because they pretend that they are not racist which is like burying your head in the sand. There was even a report claiming There is no institutional racism in the UK ! Atleast its acknowledged in the US...which is always the first step to solving a problem.. So if you're reading this. please don't be put off by the US... try your luck
Woowww…. Amanda, am so inspired by your story . Your determination to learn German ( on top of your clinical acholi…lol)#impressive.

Hallo Dr Cissy, i would like to Ask Amanda something about the process. Something to do with document Apostille and legalization before they're submitte to the german offices. If you could please connect me to her, id really appreciate that. Thank you so much
Dr Cissy and Dr Amanda .thank you for sharing . Recently there has been an international German language examination as a mandatory in addition to other requirements for becoming a doctor in germany .My question is, for how long is that certificate valid before applying for the medical language exam ? can i do it one year prior
I enjoyed watching this video really insightful. From your experience @Amanda how favorable is it for me a Kenyan to apply for approbation in the German state of Hessen compared to the other states in Germany?
Hello Dr Cissy, I have been seaching for videos on YT on how to get a medical residency in germany as foreing doctor but I must say this one is the best I have come across sofar. However, I would like to know if there is any way I can get in touch with Dr Amanda so that I can ask her some calarifications on some points she mentioned.
Thank you for this You just got my subscription Pls did you do your cresential evaluation? I mean degree certificate to be equivalent to german. If yes ,how long?
Thanks Amanda and Cissy for this informative and fun seminar. I'm a medical student in my final year. I am studying german and will do B1 soon. What is the name of the program you did? Could you share the link. Also, can I go to germany without intership?
Heyloo, you absolutiely need to do internship. Make scans of all your internship certificates and get notarised copies if possible. I enrolled at the VIA Institut in Nürnberg
I'm tempted to try it out. Are there good prospects for Pharmacists? Also, i have a bit of background knowledge of the german language (studied it upto A-level in high school), would i still have to go through all the stages upto B2?
Thank you so much for bringing this. I ama medical doctor just finishing my internship in uganda but would like to relocate to Germany. Is it possible for me to get Amanda's details just to get in touch with her fir guidance please...
@@drcissyatwine I am currently working on my relocation journey from Uganda to Germany and needed some guidance on her concerning the licensing exam after finishing Germany language classes
I went a few years after graduation. If you're already a resident you'll probably still have to retrain. Their standards for residency are quite different from UGs at least. It's tough to convince them that you're up to par
@@drcissyatwine 😂 Yes it's German. I am quite an OG in Germany than Amanda but my journey is different I came to this country, started a new career from scratch, apart from high cost of living than in Uganda, Germany can educate you for free. I come from a natural science background currently into my third year of PhD in molecular oncology/stem cell research.
@@drcissyatwine I never really devoted a specific time line to learn the scientific German. Basically because one can survive with English when pursuing a science research path. Ofcourse I need German for my daily navigation as it's the official language of communication at work. Also my potential future workplace will involve mostly English & less German.
I wrote before i got to the part of the video which she said she does not want to share her contacts publicly. 😄. Anyways, if she does get the chance to see this or if you could please pass this question onto her, I wanted to find out what she did in order to familiarise herself with the healthcare system here in Germany after arriving. Did she do any Praktikums? I have been living here since 2022 and in this time I was heavily focusing on improving my language and I now recently have B2. I have submitted my document but according to people on the Internet who did submitted their documents, it takes more than the four months stated on their website. It could take up to 9 months and I’m wondering how can I use this time More productively in order to get familiar with the healthcare system and with the conditions that are common here in Germany. I came immediately after my graduation here to Germany so I do not have any work experience so I am nervous about stepping into the hospital as a non-student. I did do my one year internship in my final year of study. What would be the best course of action to fill up this time while waiting for the processes to be done? Thank you so much for the informative video and the time taken to make your videos. Looking forward to your response
Dear Karen, if you share your email, I can get in touch. I came to Germany shortly before COVID. It took a very long time to process my documents. In that time I attended a special preparation course for the exams. I did this even without an exam date. It was very helpful. I even met people with whom we formed a discussion group. It pleases me to say that except for one person, we all have our approbation today. After the course, I did a hospitality for about 2 months maybe and that also helped me get familiar with the system
How long would it take under normal circumstances to clear the first part of the exams given the fact that I have I have the B1 German certificate. And what are the costs involved
The costs really vary depending on the course you visit and the area you're living in. Since you have B1 already. I'd say 6 months to getting a temporary license
However when I came, I also had B1 but I could hardly follow a conversation. So I actually repeated B1 and did B2. You have to get used to different accents and people talking fast
Thank you for this video. Am a ugandan doctor in Germany starting the process of approbation.
Good luck in your journey
All the best! Which Bundesland are you in?

Dear Karen, if you share your email, I can get in touch.
I came to Germany shortly before COVID. It took a very long time to process my documents. In that time I attended a special preparation course for the exams. I did this even without an exam date. It was very helpful. I even met people with whom we formed a discussion group. It pleases me to say that except for one person, we all have our approbation today.
After the course, I did a hospitality for about 2 months maybe and that also helped me get familiar with the system
And you say it’s easy???
In my experience,apart from learning the language, it is easier than getting into other foreign systems
It sounds easier than the UK and the US to me too.. besides the exam part.. working even before finishing all the exams is really a game changer
How long would it take under normal circumstances to clear the first part of the exams given the fact that I have I have the B1 German certificate.
And what are the costs involved
The costs really vary depending on the course you visit and the area you're living in. Since you have B1 already. I'd say 6 months to getting a temporary license
However when I came, I also had B1 but I could hardly follow a conversation. So I actually repeated B1 and did B2. You have to get used to different accents and people talking fast
