Kommentar: Explain that nursing experience is an obligatory part of your medical studies as this is not the case in English-speaking countries.

Kommentar: Jakob puts his miltary replacement service (Zivildienst) under "Medical vocational training" as it was recognised as part of his mandatory nursing experience.

Kommentar: If you've already done an elective in an English-speaking country, ask a doctor or consultant from your elective to act as referee.
