The doctor shortage in France is a reality: aging population, retirements, territorial inequalities... But this challenge also turns into an opportunity for European practitioners ready to settle. Stable positions, structured integration paths, and modernized facilities: the country needs you.

Why France is actively recruiting European doctors

Many regions (especially rural and peri-urban) lack practitioners. Institutions are seeking general practitioners and specialists (psychiatry, radiology, anesthesiology, pediatrics, etc.) and offer structured work environments with multidisciplinary teams and modern technical platforms.

Recognition of EU diplomas facilitates settlement and speeds up employment access, provided the appropriate procedures are followed.

Recognition of diplomas and practice framework

European medical diplomas benefit from automatic recognition in France, subject to presenting supporting documents and completing registration with the Order of Doctors. To understand each step, see the registration guide for the Order.

To remember: EU recognition + registration with the Order = right to practice. Euromotion supports you in forming the dossier and directing you to positions corresponding to your specialty.

Working conditions: stability, team, and progress

The French model values teamwork, continuity of care, and continuous training. Schedules are organized within services, which improves the work/life balance. Structures invest in digitalization, quality, and safety of care.
