[germandoc]

Hello, I am currently a PGY-2 DO in Family Medicine interested in going to NZ after graduation for 1-2 years. What I am looking for specifically is
- if anyone knows of DOs who have come from the US to work in NZ
- and anything else that can be of helpful information to obtain my goal.

thanks in advance

I am an EM-3, and going there next year. I have a friend who just finished EM, and is there now. His wife is peds, had a bit of a harder time, but finally found something.

Good luck...
