Description
The teaching practice funding in Vienna supports the six-month mandatory training of general medicine interns in recognized teaching or teaching group practices. The aim of this program is to ensure high-quality, comprehensive primary care in Austria through practice-oriented qualification at the end of the hospital internship. Funding covers 65% to 75% of personnel costs (including ancillary wage costs and proportional special payments) per training case. The combination of federal funds (BMSGPK), state subsidies, and contributions from the umbrella organization of social insurance contributes to a balanced cost distribution. Prerequisites for funding include, among others, approval according to §§ 12 or 12a ÄrzteG 1998, proof of completed hospital internship, compliance with the training regulations of the ÄAO 2015, and waiver of previous full funding for the same training. Travel expenses, material, and operating costs outside of salary are not eligible for funding.
Particularly interested are interns at the end of their hospital internship who seek employment in the teaching practice or are "assigned" within the framework of an employment relationship. The application process is conducted digitally via a web application of the Ministry of Social Affairs, linked with the responsible state medical chamber. Required documents include, among others, the funding application (Appendix 1 or 2), personnel cost calculation, service assignment, evaluation reports, and salary documents. Applications must be submitted at least two months before the start of training and no later than December 31, 2025. Semi-annual accounting takes place on June 30 and December 31, with payments following in the month after submission of the accounting documents. Close coordination between the Federal Ministry, states, social insurance, and medical chamber ensures an efficient, transparent procedure.
