Foreign diplomas
If you have a foreign diploma in the field of Western medical education and/or acupuncture, you must have this diploma authenticated in the country where you obtained it. In addition, you must have the diploma evaluated or compared by the IcDW (Information Centre for Diploma Evaluation).
All copies of foreign diplomas must first be authenticated in the country of issue. The original diploma and a valid identification document must be submitted to the NVA secretariat. Also, sworn translations in Dutch or English must be provided for all authenticated diplomas and/or certificates.
IcDW
For more information on diploma evaluation or educational comparison, you can contact the IcDW [1]. The diploma evaluation of a Western medical education is only a diploma comparison, which is sufficient for applying for NVA membership.
CIBG
If you want to practice the relevant Western medical profession in the Netherlands, you can submit an application to the CIBG [2]. For more information, you can also contact the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport.
Foreign Nationality
Do you have a nationality outside the European Union? Then include a copy of your residence permit with your application form.
