What's specific to this state?
Exams are now on fixed dates. Registering with the state authority in good time is recommended.
Dialect note: Norddeutsch + Plattdeutsch — plain northern German. The exam expects standard Hochdeutsch from you; but the simulated patient may slip into everyday speech — so knowing the regional dialect helps.

How do you apply?
The Senatorin für Gesundheit decides whether the exam will be held; the Kammer administers it on her behalf. The candidate receives a letter with possible dates + payment details. Contact: wb@aekhb.de.
General rule: you don't apply directly to the Kammer. First you apply to the relevant state authority (Approbation / Berufserlaubnis); that authority refers you to the FSP. Start preparing early — waiting times range from weeks to months depending on the state.
