Apply for permission to practice medicine
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzA Heilpraktiker is a person who practices medicine professionally without being licensed as a doctor. The practice of medicine is any professional or commercial activity to diagnose, cure or alleviate illness, suffering or physical injury in humans, even if it is carried out in the service of others. In addition, the activity must require specialist medical knowledge and must not cause any damage to health. To practise medicine, you must apply for and obtain a license from the competent authority.
- You submit the application to practise medicine, including all the necessary documents, to the competent body.
- The competent body checks whether all requirements have been met
- You take the knowledge test (written and oral)
- If you pass the examination, you will be granted a license.
The application for admission as a non-medical practitioner must be submitted to the public order office of the district or city administration responsible for you (lower administrative authority). They will forward the application to the competent state-wide inspection authority, the Mainz-Bingen district administration, Department of Healthcare. This department is also the point of contact for all questions regarding the implementation of the inspections (e.g. making appointments).
You must
- be at least 25 years old,
- have at least a secondary school leaving certificate or another equivalent qualification,
- be able to prove their physical and mental aptitude to practise medicine by means of a medical certificate and
- be able to prove the reliability required for practicing medicine by means of an official certificate of good conduct.
- Identity card or passport,
- for name changes, a birth certificate/name change certificate
- Curriculum vitae in tabular form
- If applicable, a registration certificate (if the identification document is not an identity card)
- Information from the Federal Central Register (document type 0)
- Proof of successful graduation from school
- Certificate from a registered doctor
- Proof of criminal proceedings
- Further documents and evidence if necessary
With regard to the police certificate of good conduct, we would like to point out that this is a certificate of good conduct of document type: O (certificate of good conduct for submission to an authority; sent directly to the authority)
There is no overriding deadline; individual deadlines result from examination dates and any requirements for evidence.
30 days to 3 months
Once you have submitted the application for permission to practice, the competent authority will decide on this in a timely manner. Please note that there is usually a waiting period between application and invitation to the examination. In the run-up to the examination, the necessary documents are requested and invitations are sent out.
