Practise the Arztbrief by hand: write on paper, photograph it, get feedback
Why several chambers require a handwritten Arztbrief — and how to practise under real conditions: write on paper, photograph it, and get an AI transcription plus a score.
At a glance
- Documentation is one of the three FSP parts: patient conversation, documentation, and doctor-doctor conversation.
- The writing medium varies regionally: some chambers have the Arztbrief written by hand (sometimes with a dictionary), others on a computer.
- Structure, completeness, terminology, and linguistic accuracy are assessed — not penmanship.
Context
Exam practice starts where a sentence has a job: reassure, document, hand over, or ask a follow-up.
Handwritten documentation is exam reality in several chambers. Practise it the way it is tested — on paper, not only on a keyboard.

How to turn it into practice
The official structure becomes real exam preparation only through repeated language action.
- Write the Arztbrief by hand on paper within the allotted time instead of only typing it.
- Photograph your sheet and have it transcribed to objectively check legibility, structure, and register.
Repeat until the register fits
In Fachsprachtrainer, handwritten chambers let you photograph and upload your Arztbrief: the AI transcribes it verbatim, you quickly review the result, and you get the same scoring as a typed exercise.
FAQ
Does the Arztbrief have to be handwritten in the FSP?
It depends on the chamber: some require handwriting (sometimes with a dictionary), others allow typing on a computer. Check your responsible chamber's requirements.
