More and more Polish doctors are choosing to practice in France, attracted by the professional opportunities, the quality of the healthcare system, and favorable working conditions. Thanks to the mutual recognition of diplomas within the European Union, this transition is more accessible than ever.
Recognition of Polish diplomas in France
Medical degrees obtained in Poland are automatically recognized in France under European directives on the free movement of healthcare professionals. This means a Polish doctor does not need to retake exams to obtain the right to practice, but must complete certain administrative procedures.
The documents required to have your diploma recognized include:
- The medical degree issued by a Polish university,
- The certificate of conformity confirming that the training meets European standards,
- A criminal record extract,
- An identity document and, if possible, proof of professional experience.
Registration with the Medical Council
The next step is to register with the French Medical Council. This registration is mandatory for any doctor wishing to practice in the country. It is done with the departmental council of the chosen place of practice. This process verifies qualifications, professional morality, and diploma compliance.
For a better understanding of the procedures, consult our comprehensive guide to registering with the Medical Council.
