Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal of an independent medical practice license violated the FZA and MedBG because no postgraduate title was held.
Decisione estratta
An independent physician’s practice requires, in addition to the recognized diploma, an eidgenössischer Weiterbildungstitel or an equivalent recognized foreign title; the refusal was lawful.
Motivazione estratta
The FZA ensures non-discrimination and diploma recognition, but it does not remove the national requirement under Art. 36 Abs. 2 MedBG. The appellant had no specialist title and had not successfully sought recognition of any equivalent postgraduate qualification.
