He also has a Master of Science in Medical Informatics from the Institute of Distance Learning - Berlin University of Applied Sciences and Technology.   As a part of his medical training, he spent his Practical year in Berlin, Moscow and Argentina.

His family owns Kurtz Ersa, a global technology group based in Kreuzwertheim.   Dr. Kurtz is a shareholder in his family's global firm.
