Doctor: 'I gave up on health care in America'

http://money.cnn.com/2013/04/25/smallbusiness/doctor-quit-healthcare/index.html?iid=HP_LN

In America, Snyder hardly ever took time off. In Australia, Snyder is contracted to work only 36 weeks a year, plus he gets four weeks' paid vacation time. That's given him time to travel -- he and his wife have visited Sydney, Malaysia and elsewhere in the region.

Even with a much lighter schedule, Snyder is making the equivalent of U.S.$250,000 a year -- $100,000 more than he made practicing in Colorado year round.

Seems tempting but I'm curious does the increase in salary make up the hassle of filing taxes in two countries/the slice each takes?

 

[yesno]

So this job requires family medicine residency (I doubt that IM residency would qualify for this job) and requires that he work in rural parts of Australia. How hard do you think it would be to get a job in a less needy specialty and/or less underserved area?
