Jerlan Omarchanov is a German doctor. Omarchanov has received scrutiny for practicing medicine in Germany after his Norwegian medical authorization was revoked. A 2022 NRK investigation reported that Omarchanov had worked as an orthopedic surgeon in Norway, despite not having that specialisation.
Career
Omarchanov started his medical career in Germany[1] where he has been a licensed doctor since 1992.[2] In 2008, he moved to Flekkefjord in Norway and started working at a local hospital.[3] Omarchanov worked at hospitals in Flekkefjord, Sørlandet,[1] Bergen,[4] Haukeland,[4][5] Hammerfest,[4] and Kristiansand.[4]
In 2021, Norwegian authorities revoked his medical authorisation.[1][6] The Norwegian health board stated that Omarchanov "carried out major orthopedic surgery on seven patients without being a certified specialist or having enough practical experience," resulting in "irreversible harm to many of [the patients]".[7] Norwegian courts acquitted him of "gross negligence" in 2022, instead placing blame on his workplaces for failing to follow proper routines.[7] Omarchanov relocated back to Germany, where he has worked as a surgeon, most recently working at Praxisklinik für Chirurgie und Traumatologie in Markdorf[1] and in Bavaria.[2]
Journalistic investigation
An investigation by NRK found Omarchanov worked as the chief of surgery in orthopedics at Flekkefjord though he did not have this specialisation at the time.[8]
Personal life
Omarchanov graduated from a university in Kazakhstan.[7] He holds German citizenship.[6][7]
