Academic healthcare professions - Recognition of training - application

Have you successfully completed an advanced training course? If so, then you are normally entitled to hold a title indicating this training (for example, specialist doctor). Before you can use such a title, you must have your training recognised.

Note: Training in academic healthcare professions is regulated in the further education guidelines of the relevant chambers.

Responsible department

  • For doctors: the Federal Chamber of Physicians Baden-Württemberg (Ländesärztekammer)
  • For dentists: the Federal Chamber of Dentists Baden-Württemberg (Landeszahnärztekammer)
  • For pharmacists: the Federal Chamber of Pharmacists Baden-Württemberg (Landesapothekerkammer)
  • For psychotherapists: the Federal Chamber of Psychotherapists Baden-Württemberg (Landespsychotherapeutenkammer)

Note: The determining factor is which chamber you belonged to at the time you made your application. Even if you completed much of your advanced training in other Federal States, you must submit your application to your chamber in Baden-Württemberg.
