Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Dubai Expat Help Forum

My husband is going to be a respiratory therpist in 2 years. We want to move to Dubai as soon as he graduates. What do you guys know about how hospitals hire expats...and work visas etc. I have been surfing the internet non stop. I just want some personal accounts (or if anyone has told u their story).

Thanks so much guys.

Well, the process in 2 years might be very different. Everything here is changing a lighting pace. Maybe this is something you don't need to worry about before he completes his degree?

im extremly excited and what to get the ball rolling asap, thanks

Seriously though, Dubai is changing every day and advice now might not be relevant in two years. You just have to keep up on things over the next couple of years to see what has changed and what hasn't. Are there any websites you've found about the hiring of medical personnel in Dubai? I personally can't help with that one, but maybe someone else here can.

there are two ways of doing this.

one, he can team up with a local sponsor and start his own practice - sometimes you get a good sponsor, sometimes not!

he can join an exisiting practice or hospital, there are a number of these listed.

i see the american hospital in dubai offers a link advertising careers, i would assume that others do as well http://www.ahdubai.com/

look at this link for a list of local hospital

i'm sure the reason to come to dubai is to pay off the huge loan from med school - choose carefully!

i ran across an add for "NMC Speciality Hospital" in dubai, they are supposed to have a new pulmonary section ....

may be worth following up on ..

I think it is just over 2 years away from becoming a reality so you may be well timed; also I believe it'll be a free zone i.e. no local sponsor required.
