What's specific to this state?
A transparent official process; forms can be downloaded.
Dialect note: Berlinerisch influence — plain northeastern German. 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?
Registration form + ID → Landesärztekammer Brandenburg, Referat Weiterbildung, Pappelallee 5, 14469 Potsdam. Use 'Fachsprachtest' as the transfer reference.
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.
