The job portal praktischArzt from Mannheim and futuredoctor, a placement agency for prospective medical students in other European countries, have entered into a cooperation agreement as of 1 August 2022.
Through the cooperation between futuredoctor and the successful job portal for medical professionals practicalDoctor the aim from now on is to make even more young people aware of alternative opportunities to study medicine in other European countries. In this way, the growing shortage of doctors is to be counteracted in the future. "We know about the importance of praktischArzt in the German health care system and are therefore very happy to have such a strong sparring partner on our side in the future," said. MUDr. Amandeep Grewal, Managing Director and Co-Founder of futuredoctor.
There is a shortage of thousands of study places for future doctors in Germany. The medical associations regularly sound the alarm, as at the same time the number of doctors retiring in the foreseeable future is constantly increasing. The lack of places in medical schools is further exacerbating the shortage of doctors. The founders of futuredoctor have already made it their task during their own medical studies to advise those interested in studying medicine with regard to the alternative of studying medicine in neighbouring European countries and, if interested, to successfully place them with universities.
The lack of study place capacities at state medical faculties in Germany and the high requirements due to a very low NC (Numerus Clausus) deny numerous prospective students access to their dream study of medicine and, furthermore, to the dream profession of doctor. And this despite the fact that the health system has been complaining about a shortage of doctors for years. "We are very positive about the cooperation and are looking forward to being able to help not only doctors but also even more prospective medical students find their dream job in the future and thus contribute to counteracting the shortage of doctors a little," says Timo Krasko, Managing Director of praktischArzt. "Educational work and information about the profession as well as the everyday working life of a doctor even before graduation until retirement are an important part of our portals and our daily work," adds Michael Schmitt, also managing director of praktischArzt.
The team around the two founders of futuredoctor, both of whom are now doctors with study experience in other European countries, provides their applicants and prospective medical students with comprehensive support in preparing for any admission procedures, application procedures and bureaucracy at individual foreign faculties and places of study, and supports them locally during their studies.
The job portal praktischArzt, part of pA Medien GmbH based in Mannheim, has been able to establish itself as a leading career and information portal for doctors over the last 8 years. Every month, the portals of pA Medien GmbH praktischArzt and Medi-Karriere (https://www.medi-karriere.de/) reach over two million visitors and serve a large part of the hospitals and health care facilities in Germany.
