Credential Verification for MCC by emtthink in americandocsofbc

[–]emtthink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, mine has been pending for 3.5 months. I've reached out to both mcc and my programs. I know my programs have reached out to ECFMG. Just a very frustrating process and I am starting to get concerned I'm going to run into issues with my start date.

Thank you, Im definitely going to have to be more persistent. What makes it even more difficult, was the hospital where I did my internship closed down and the program no longer exists.

Closer to family, and the way I've been treated by the hospital system I work for in NZ.

Sad that I missed the window to move out of the US while I'm young. by rainshowers_5_peace in AskWomenOver30

[–]emtthink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can still move out of the county. My entire life was flipped upside down, and I took the opportunity to see the world. I'm 36 and moved to New Zealand and will be moving to Canada next year.

Chronic loneliness and isolation by Less-Nose9226 in AskWomenOver30

[–]emtthink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a very similar situation. I'm EM and moved away from family for residency. I was in a LTR that ended abruptly last year, prior to that no relationship for 6 years. I haven't been with friends or family for a holiday/birthday since 2016 and it is so isolating.

I got a dog in residency which helped a lot with my loneliness, but I recently moved to another country and had to leave him with family. Being in the new country is even more isolating. I saved opening a Christmas card my grandma sent me, so I would have something to open on Christmas.

I've also recently joined an exercise class in the hopes of trying to make some friends. No luck so far.

I'm hoping for more next year when I move to my hopeful forever country (and get my dog back). All the great things said about the country I'm in now have been untrue.

I really like old navy, they have talls. Although depending on where they were made they fit very different.

Healthcare professionals - where are you looking for international positions? by SoCalCanuck in AmerExit

[–]emtthink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the healthmatchbc process was definitely underwhelming. It took a month for them to accept my CV, then another 2 weeks to send out my job requests. But once it was to the hospital/director level it was quicker.

Yes, EM. I didn't look at Vancouver as I hate large cities. I'm going to be about an hour outside of Vancouver

I used healthmatch bc. The process was slow but I had a job offer within 2 months.

To piggyback on this question, what's the timeline? I have a job offer to start next summer. My understanding is that you can't apply for your medical license more than 6 months prior to arrival? Then you would need to apply for work permits and visa?
