01 · Country roadmaps

Five countries.
Researched independently.

Each destination has its own exam system, language threshold, and timeline. Country pages walk through every step, with primary sources cited inline. New deep dives publish on the blog as they ship.

02 · What you'll find here

Four moving parts.
Mapped end to end.

Every clinician planning licensure abroad juggles a license exam, a language exam, paperwork, and a job hunt — usually with a hospital rotation on top. Country pages walk through how to sequence them.

01

Exam pathway

INBDE, Kenntnisprüfung, ORE, ADC, NDEB — what each one covers, what passes, what gets refused. Updated with primary sources.

INBDE · Approbation · ORE · ADC
02

Language requirements

IELTS or OET for dentistry; German B2/C1 for the FSP. Which test the regulator accepts and what scores actually clear.

All language tracks
03

Document strategy

Equivalency, certified translations, apostilles, embassy appointments. The order that gets paperwork accepted on first submission.

See checklist
04

Landing & first job

Hospital matching, CV translation, interview prep, housing notes, first-week checklists drawn from publicly shared accounts.

Country landings
03 · A typical journey

From first decision to first patient:
from about 18 months to over four years, depending on the destination.

The timeline depends on the destination, but the structure doesn't. Four phases, each with a clear deliverable. Each country page gives that country's range, with sources.

01PHASE 1

Discover

Pick the destination, map your credentials against its system, draft a personal calendar. Country pages walk through what to consider.

02PHASE 2

Plan & prep

Book the language exam. Start the document trail. Read other clinicians' accounts (blog) to anticipate the friction points.

03PHASE 3

Prepare & pass

License-exam window. Mock days, OSCE rehearsals, full-week sprints before the test. Country pages list the study resources each authority itself points to, and note what candidates report using — RxApply does not endorse third-party material.

04PHASE 4

Land

Hospital applications, interview prep, relocation notes from clinicians who've made the move. Newsletter follows the latest changes.
