Approbation



Approbation

VESTYN Non-EU Health Professional Adaptation Program

This program is primarily designed to help NON-EU-educated Medical graduates and Nurses adapt to practice in Europe and other European Health Care Systems. The major portion of the program is dedicated to learning the intensive German Language and the Medical terminologies in German.

The course module also consists of a legal framework of the European health care system and practical training at Partner Hospitals, which would be an integral part of the program.

Since this is a practical-intensive course, VIAST would help students with the License (equivalent to a Europe n qualification) of their existing foreign nursing qualification and prepare them for the Approbation test which is also known as the licensure exam.

The Approbation test consists of four stages in which the first two stages can be completed in English or GERMAN. The third stage is a 40-day Practical Medical Nursing test session conducted under the supervision of a Partner Hospital. The hospital would analyze the efficiency of the students in dealing with a real German-speaking patient.

After clearing the fourth stage of the test, the candidate obtains the license and becomes capable of practicing in Europe and the European Health Care system.

The approbation program is aimed at providing recognition to physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, medical assistants, support staff, and other healthcare professionals who are foreign nationals and have obtained their medical qualification outside of the European Union which is a mandate by the governments of the European Union. The code of professional activities and tasks related to the medical and healthcare domains are governed differently under the law in the EU and certain prerequisites have to be met for training and application in the healthcare profession.

This program trains to obtain authorization from the government for professionals to practice in their respective healthcare departments. This training program is structured to prepare the pursuant for the two computer tests, one which verifies the expertise knowledge quotient, and the second to assess the local health system and legal system awareness levels.
Training is also given for the formal practical performance of the relevant medical profession under expert supervision at a local healthcare facility. The participants will also be equipped to complete the case studies required for the approbation.
