Where does the language information come from?
The languages come from the clinic chains' booking systems and the professionals' profile pages, as the professionals state them. EtsiAika does not assess anyone's language skills.
Not everyone lists their languages: for 543 professionals the languages are not known, and they do not appear in a language search. If you need a particular language, confirm it when you book.
A doctor trained outside the EU and EEA must prove their Finnish or Swedish skills before being licensed in Finland: Valvira requires at least level B1, and the licensing examinations at Tampere University level B2. You can check a professional's licence in the JulkiTerhikki register.
