Looking For A Job

Now that I am a licensed medical doctor, the next step is to look for a job. Usually, the common options are: proceed to residency or start practicing as a general physician. The former entails another 3-4 years of training, tackling another specialty board at the end of training and practicing as a specialist. The latter is perhaps a stepping stone to working in public hospitals or communities as an employee of the Department of Health or one of those doctors for the barrios. As of this moment, training hospitals are now receiving applications for their respective residency programs. As of this moment, I am yet to decide which option to take.

I have so many factors to consider. Of course, family is top of the list. Conversing with my wife, we have always felt that the ultimate goal really is to leave the country and find work abroad. I am currently presenting myself for assessment for eligibility of living and working in Australia. So far, I have earned 125 points, making me eligible to live and work in Australia. I have been to Australia when I was in high school, when I attended a conference held in University of Queensland, Brisbane, for the World Futures Studies Conference- Global Youth Visions Project. I stayed at Toombul road, with the Casado family, for almost 2 weeks. It was an exciting experience. It was my first trip abroad, my first international flight ride, my first ride on an MRT, on an omnibus, everything was almost a first.

I am currently browsing the internet for possible job vacancies abroad. I am hoping to land a teaching job or go into research but I am hoping to find a medical job, one that is suited of course to my profession.

On Monday, I am going back to Simala to offer my thanksgiving to the miraculous lady of Simala.
