on general requirements
Middle East hospitals,
universities and medical institutions seeking
qualified, doctors, nurses and academics
are welcome to use the WRS service.
All WRS clients seeking
international doctors will receive a tailored
advertisement detailing minimum requirements
of the accepting country. WRS will provide
initial vetting of candidates to ensure
that only suitably qualified staff are referred.
WRS can also offer, as
required, an educational assessment of potential
candidates based on the Health Priority
Areas of the country in which they hope
to work. All candidates are given an initial
CME/CPD examination to assess behaviours,
attitudes, skills and knowledge. If the
examination shows a deficit in a knowledge
area each candidate is given a ‘study
pack’ to bring them up to the mark,
prior to any elimination from the service.
Final assessment/recommendation of each
placement will be undertaken by a trained
medical educator, in this case Emeritus
Professor Neil Carson AO . Candidates are
personally interviewed to ascertain level
of professional development to meet the
evolving needs of national programs.
In addition to verifying suitability of
candidates WRS provides a psychological
assessment based on the American Journal
of Psychiatry check list. This has been
designed to isolate those doctors who may
have trouble adjusting to a different social
or religious environment. Such identified
doctors will be given specific counselling
on these issues with a view to increasing
their awareness of conditions in accepting
countries.
All placements will
receive a personal follow up service to
ensure all parties are satisfied.
