Global Medical

Global Medical is locum tenens company in Salt Lake City, Utah who's motto is "Go Far - Do Good". In August of last year my wife Bonny was on their internet site and found this cardiology position in New Zealand. It sounded like a dream job no call no weekends and they would supply a car and a house. Wow! my wife exclaimed I love New Zealand and I don't mind driving on the left side of the road. I thought there is no way that this job is going to happen, but I encouraged my wife to get more details, and so our journey began. Original medical degree, original board certification, medical qualifications, recommendations, phone interview, travel to New Zealand and another round of interviews. Negotiate job offer, job offer letter, apply for practicing certificate medical council New Zealand. Get certification for performance of transesophageal echocardiograpy. Medical certification approval letter, medical examination for visa, blood work for visa,  chest x-ray, send passports to embassy in Washington, get visa approval, make appointment for medical council interview in Wellington.  Last but not least get all orifices swabbed and cultured for MRSA and pack ALL BLACKS rugby shirt (they are crazy for rugby in New Zealand). It is hard to believe that the day to leave has almost arrived. Thanks to Global Medical and everyone who helped complete this 6 month journey. Te Aroha!
