Test: Conducted in a single day, the exam is taken on a computer. The tests are divided into two parts: a test on professional knowledge and a test on legislation. The tests are in Czech, with a required minimum success rate of 70%, and multiple correct answers are possible. A doctor who fails either the medical or legislation test must reapply and retake both tests.

Upon successfully passing the test part, the candidate will receive permission for professional practice within the certification process by mail.

Practical Part: Completion of practical work in the relevant healthcare profession under direct professional supervision at an accredited facility for the certification exam in the Czech Republic, with a total duration of 6 months.

For general practitioners, the practical part includes:

• 1 month in each department: ARO (Anesthesiology and Resuscitation), Internal Medicine, Surgery, Gynecology, Pediatrics
• 1 month in a department of choice from the above.

For dentists and pharmacists:

• 6 months in a dental clinic or pharmacy.

During the practical training, the candidate must prepare 5 case studies (medical records). Upon successful completion of the practical part, the doctor will receive a certificate. The successful completion of the practical part is valid for 5 years.

Oral Examination: At the beginning, the doctor must defend the case studies prepared during the practical part. Then, the doctor will draw questions and have time to prepare. The oral exam for general practitioners is divided into two parts: Surgery + Gynecology/Obstetrics, and Internal Medicine + Pediatrics. Dentists and pharmacists have their oral exam on the same day.
