What's specific to this state?

One of the Kammers with the most transparently published format. Once you pass, the certificate arrives within ~2 weeks by email + post.

Dialect note: Norddeutsch / Mecklenburger Platt — plain. 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?

First get approval from the state authority (LAGUS) → once confirmed, register IMMEDIATELY with Ärztekammer M-V by email. Contact: fsp@aek-mv.de.

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.
