Jobs in medical practices

In a practice you know the patients by name. You take blood, do X-rays, organise the day, reassure people on the phone – and go home in the evening, without night shifts and usually without weekends.

Frequent questions

What are the working hours in a medical practice?

Usually daytime on weekdays, with fixed consultation hours. Some practices have an evening or Saturday rota – it is in the advert, or we ask for you.

Can I develop further as an MPA?

Yes, for example to medical practice coordinator (MPK) with a federal diploma, with a clinical or management focus. Many practices support this with money or time.

Are there also roles for physicians and therapists in practices?

Yes. In group practices and outpatient centres, physicians, physiotherapy and nutrition counselling work in one team. The matching roles are listed above.
