    any doctor? working in health sector?

    Hi,

    i'll be moving in HK in may, with my wife, pediatrician.

    beside searching the hospitals, has any one a good advise (or connexion...) for her to be able to find a job there?

    thanks

    Only one advise,..and without doing that you wont be able to practise here:
    - She should get registered at the medical counsel, which will mean quiet a bit of paperwork and patience as it will take some time for them to proces.

    Good Luck,

    p.s. In the past there have been a few treads on this subject,..you might want to have a look at them.

    Dear Sebb,

    It is simple, if you are not registered at the medical counsil you are not allowed to work as a docter in HK (as in most countries).
    So your wife needs to get registered (which takes some paperwork and a lot of patience" ) but is not imposible.
    And then (after being registerd) she still needs to find a job,..which might be tricky as she is in a pretty specialized field. Maybe she can practise with a office at home but I don't know the details about that.

    I hope it is a bit clearer now, this is as far as I know how the situation is. (please anyone correct me if I am wrong)
    Take a look here :http://www.mchk.org.hk/ (=website of the medical council) you might find better information there.

    Good luck,..
