The salary offered is in line with salaries paid to German civil servants, including bonuses and insurance coverage.
The qualification of ophthalmologists for short-term assignments should include third-world experience and the willingness to fill in vacancies and / or periods of leave, or to step into the breach at one of our hospitals where higher work load arises. Remuneration and all other expenses will be covered by CBM. The period of such a short-term assignment varies between at least four
