FELLOWSHIPS IN NEUROLOGY FOR GUEST PHYSICIANS at the Department of Neurology (Head: Prof. C. Weiller), Neurocenter, University of Freiburg, Germany
The Department of Neurology welcomes doctors from abroad. To get the German "Facharzt" you do have to follow our full rotation-system over appr. 5-6 years and to complete one additional year of clinical training in Psychiatry. We have a curriculum of a scientifically orientated training track (with longer periods of research in between clinical rotations) and a clinically orientated track (with emphasis on clinical specializations). You can also stay here for only a couple of months with a special research focus. If you aim to work as a doctor within our department, stays for a specific clinical specialization training should last at least 2 years and ideally include research work in this field.
Main Preconditions
- You do have to come for 1 week to our hospital to stay as an observer in the routine clinical run-up.

In case of vacancies and fulfilment of the general requirements you will be invited to visit our hospital for 1 week. At that time you are going to have one interview with Prof. Weiller and various senior physicians. The main aim of your visit for us is to get to know you personally.
