Dienstleistungsbeschreibung

The profession of specialist pharmacist is regulated in Germany. This means: You need a permit if you want to use the title “Fachapotheker” or “Fachapotheker” for your specialization in Berlin.
With the training as a pharmacist specialist, you have acquired an additional pharmaceutical specialization to your qualification as a pharmacist abroad. To work as a pharmacist in Germany, you first need a license to practice medicine or a professional permit that is valid in Germany. In order to work as a pharmacist specialist in Germany, you must also apply for recognition of your further training as a specialist pharmacist. With the recognition of your professional qualification, you may use the continuing education title for your specialization as a pharmacist specialist .
Note: You may only use the designation for your specialization if there is a corresponding continuing education designation also in Germany.
The permission will be granted by the responsible Chamber of Pharmacists Berlin after examination of your documents and prerequisites when applying in Berlin.
Procedure:
1. you submit your application and the required documents to the Berlin Chamber of Pharmacists.
If necessary, you will be asked to submit any missing documents.

3.1 If your specialist pharmacist qualification is recognized, you can work in the profession in Germany. You will receive a notification.
3.2 If deficiencies in knowledge of pharmaceutical practice and special areas of law for pharmacists are found, you will not be certified as having the same qualifications as a pharmacist. You will receive a notice of the differences in your professional qualification.
