Any medical degree which is accepted in the EU makes you eligible to work in Norway as a doctor, dentist, pharmacist and other. One basic demand is to speak one of the Scandinavian languages fluently; that is Norwegian, Swedish or Danish.

More info about working in Norway, licensing or residency (turnus), can be found on the websites for the Norwegian Medical Association (Den norske legeforeningen).
