Questions for doctors

  • How can I be sure if my diploma will be recognized in France?

    • Generally, (with few exceptions), all diplomas obtained in Europe can benefit from recognition and equivalence in France. For those few exceptions, if the equivalence is not given immediately, you can ask for the equivalence at CNG. In order to do that, you need to send a complete dossier. This request takes more time. We can help you in this procedure.

    • At the national level, the specialities that benefit of European equivalence, the most demanded are: anesthesia and intensive care, radiology, occupational medicine, general medicine, physical and rehabilitation medicine, cardiology...
