As a doctor (f/m/d), your medical diploma, specialist diploma (if available) and German language skills must be listed in the register of medical professions.

If you have completed your training abroad, you will also need a MEBEKO recognition for your medical diploma and specialist diploma. Further information on the recognition and language entry can be found here. If your diplomas are not directly recognized by the MEBEKO and a decision has been made by the MEBEKO that your diploma has been listed in the MedReg as a non-recognizable foreign diploma, we must obtain a permit from the Health Directorate of the Canton of Zurich for you to be employed.
