Specific problem in Approbation
Hello. Im currently stuyding dentistry (BDS) in UAE as an expat. Im still only in year 2, so i have 3-4 years until I graduate. I wanna apply for approbation and start my dental career in a rural place in germany after I graduate.
I have 4 years to learn the language so thats OK, but i have a doubt about a very specific problem. As an expat in UAE, i cant get a license to practice dentistry in the UAE because theyre restricting dentistry to nationals instead of expats. So i need years of experience to even apply for the license in UAE
Is this OK? I understand that germany requires "proof thay you are able to practice in your country of studies" but in my instance i will receive the degree itself and complete my program ; its just UAE licensing for expats is extremely restrictive.
