Physician's Assistant Jobs in Singapore?
Posted: Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:10 pm
Hi All ... I'm in the early stages of contemplating a relocation to Singapore for my job however one of the hurdles is determining whether my fiancee will be able to find employment. She is a PA in a neonatal ICU in the states... so not a nurse and not a doctor but something inbetween. Deals strictly with high acuity / premature births, writes perscriptions, etc. Essentially 90% of doctor's duties without an MD (or corresponding insurance costs).
As far as I can tell Singapore only has provisions for nurses and doctors - nothing inbetween. So my fear is that while she is qualified in the eyes of the US medical system she either 1) won't be able to find a role at all or 2) will have to take a role that has responsibilities far below her current position. In a perfect world I would think she could fill a niche delivering expat children or working in a pediatric practice that caters to expats. Any help/advice/suggestions greatly appreciated.
