Planning a Famulatur / PJ
-

at least 1 year in advance - Begin language preparation
Passive: 1-2 years in advance; active & intensive the Semester before you plan to go on your Famulatur - Financial support & choice of (university) hospital
There are different options to receive financial support. Please do ask the AAA for further information.
It is recommended to choose university hospitals form our partner universities. Apart from that there is a list of possible hospitals and countries on the websites from AAA and HLfGP.
Famulaturen must take place during the lecture-free period.
For information about splitting terms (Tertiale splitten im PJ) please contact the dean's office (Studiendekanat) or the HLfGP. - Application
Send a polite inquiry / request letter including your CV to your (university) hospital of choice. Mention that you do not expect to be paid any salary and that you will cover all travel and living costs yourself (if applicable to you). Don't limit your offer to just a certain set of four weeks. Give them the opportunity to choose the best time for them; for example: during the months of July to October I would be available for a four week period to perform this visitation, of course at your convenience.
The next phase is to wait and be patient. Don't expect them to answer within a week or even a month. Wait to ask about accommodation until after you have been accepted. If you have been accepted by more than one hospital, write and inform the other hospitals that you will not be coming. This is polite and fair for others wanting to have these jobs. - Hess.

Don´t forget to ask them before starting !
Good luck!
