Due to the new Maternity Protection Act, pregnant and breastfeeding women are not prevented from taking part in courses and examinations during the protection periods. However, limitations (e.g. in the preparation courses, station examination 2 and 3D-MC) must be observed.

Persons to be examined who are prevented from providing equivalent services due to a longer-lasting or permanent disadvantage can receive disadvantage compensation for a specific examination.

Disadvantages that relate to the qualifications to be proven by the examination – as well as the qualifications required for the desired profession – cannot be compensated for. Compensation for disadvantages should help to be able to prove the existing ability - but it should not reduce the difficulty of the exam or compensate for a lack of ability.

Current specialist medical reports/certificates relating to the respective examination and the examination format must be submitted as proof. The certificate must also contain a "compensation recommendation".

In order for a possible disadvantage to be taken into account in good time for the examination, it is essential to submit the application as early as possible, but no later than 4 weeks before the start of the first examination cycle.
