In 2025, France continues to face a significant shortage of doctors, a situation that opens many doors for practitioners from abroad. While the medical job market is particularly promising, it is nonetheless marked by administrative, linguistic, and organizational challenges. For foreign doctors, it is both an ideal time to settle and a journey that requires meticulous preparation.
Increasing Needs Across the Territory
The shortage of doctors affects both rural areas and large cities. The most strained specialties in 2025 are general medicine, geriatrics, psychiatry, radiology, and anesthesiology-resuscitation. This strong demand allows foreign doctors to quickly find opportunities, with attractive conditions and specific aids, particularly in underserved areas.
Attractive Conditions for Foreign Practitioners
To enhance its attractiveness, France is multiplying incentives:
- Financial aids: installation bonuses and tax exemptions in certain municipalities.
- Professional stability: hospital contracts, opportunities in private clinics, or private practice.
- Quality of life: balance between career, family life, and a pleasant living environment.
Challenges to Anticipate
Despite these opportunities, settling in is not without difficulties:
- Complex administrative procedures: diploma recognition by the CNG, DREETS, or the Medical Council.
- Language barrier: proficiency in medical French is crucial for communication with patients and colleagues.
- Cultural integration: adaptation to local practices, digital tools (DMP, CPS Card, e-prescription) and French relational codes.
A Rapidly Evolving Digital Market
The digitization of the healthcare system, with telemedicine and artificial intelligence tools, is transforming medical practice in France. For foreign doctors, training in these technologies is a major asset for integrating quickly and offering modern and effective care. Institutions particularly value candidates capable of combining clinical skills and mastery of innovations.
