If
you've always wanted to have an overseas medical
job as a locum
tenen and experience another culture,
you're in the right place. Since 1994 we've
specialized in organizing international physician
employment such as medical jobs
and locum tenens in Australia and New Zealand.
Occasionally, we also have medical
job openings for physician employment
and locum
tenens in the Great Britain, the
Caribbean and the South Pacific. The locum tenens
typically run six months to a year in duration
or longer.
How
The Process Unfolds
We
start by trying to get a clear idea of what
medical job the locum
tenens abroad is looking for and what
their family's requirements are. Then we will
answer their questions, let the locum tenens
know what is realistic and provide them with
basic information. We'll describe the countries
we work in, the average settings, the typical
workloads, surrounding environments and recreational
activities.
 Next,
we'll ask the locum tenens for a CV and an application (click
here for application). We'll pre-qualify
the locum
tenens by researching their history,
verifying their credentials and interviewing
their references by phone. We will also provide
the locum tenens with references and Internet
resources with which to research the country.
Once the locum tenens is pre-qualified, we'll
work with them to hone in on an locum
tenens that matches the skills
and interests the locum tenens has described
to us. When we find the right medical
job, we'll provide the locum tenens
with practice description, a city description
and present them as a candidate. Then we will
arrange a teleconference for them to speak with
the doctors in that practice. Assuming that
both the locum
tenens abroad and the client are comfortable
with and interested in one another, we'll begin
walking them through the visa and medical registration
processes.
The visa and medical registration processes
are both a matter of filling out forms and attaching
supporting documentation (medical school diploma,
postgraduate certificates, etc.). We'll usher
you through each step of these processes.
