What's specific to this state?

One of the few states where telc Medizin is officially recognized — a cheap/flexible route. The Hessen FSP is also valid.

Dialect note: Plattdeutsch is still lively among older people; otherwise plain Norddeutsch. The exam expects standard Hochdeutsch from you; but the simulated patient may slip into everyday speech — so knowing the regional dialect helps.

How do you apply?

The Approbation + FSP process runs through LASD/LASG (Neumünster). The Kammer is in Bad Segeberg.

General rule: you don't apply directly to the Kammer. First you apply to the relevant state authority (Approbation / Berufserlaubnis); that authority refers you to the FSP. Start preparing early — waiting times range from weeks to months depending on the state.
