If you can imagine working as a GP in a rural region of Saxony, you can now apply for a place to study medicine again. As part of the rural doctor quota, 40 study places are available for which you do not have to meet the strict numerus clausus for medicine. Applicants commit to working as a GP in the countryside for at least ten years after completing their training.
According to the Saxony State Directorate, applications can be submitted between January 15 and February 28. In the two-stage selection process, the first step is to see how suitable and motivated the applicants are to work as a rural doctor. This is followed by a selection interview.
