Training for a general doctor in Belgium lasts at least three years and includes a theoretical part and a practical part, with a minimum internship of six months in a hospital and six months in the surgery of a general medical doctor acting as the internship supervisor. This training starts when the student successfully passes the sixth year of the doctor's training cycle (3rd Masters).

    of an approved general medical doctor.
