Anyone ever receive locums inquiries about jobs down under? Curious what they pay. Thinking of trying to do it for a couple of years but unsure if my debt burden will allow for it. Thanks.
Same standards. I often see locums companies looking for American doctors down there, just not sure what typical rates are.Don’t they practice differently in a different country? Or do they have the same guidelines and standard of care as USA?
NZ pays far less than the US, approximately 80k USD per year last I checked. Australia can pay comparable to the US.Same standards. I often see locums companies looking for American doctors down there, just not sure what typical rates are.

The NZ doc pay is for US docs doing locums. The other was roughly based on market rates for psychiatry in AustraliaHm. So these us based locums companies probably wouldn't be paying similar us rates? That's unfortunate to hear.
You can plan to make less than you would as a locum tenens physician in the United States. But in most cases your travel, housing, transportation, malpractice coverage, registration and immigration is provided as part of your locums contract in order to offset some of the difference in compensation.
Are these jobs typically in far flung, not so great locations? Or would it be possible to find something in a desirable city?
Usually the worst places. I’m from Texas though, so it isn’t like driving to El Paso to reach a great city either.
Bummer. Will need to find plan B in the event dear leader is elected to (or steals) another 4 years.

But with less gun crazy, angry, people and access to healthcare for everyone.I know of one doc years ago, went to NZ for a gig, liked it and packed up and went back.
The thing is, if people want to go work where there's more sheep than people, you can also find such rural places in America too, even with big mountains like NZ.
And you are very entitled to your opinion and rights. Just don’t assume everyone else agrees with you.The more I've traveled, I actually breathe a sigh of relief upon plane touch down in the land of gun rights. Gun rights and access are one of the greatest gifts of our country.
