I enjoy matching the job to suit the professional and personal goals of general physicians and seeing the benefits of a better work/life balance.
I am passionate about working alongside all sub-specialties in medicine. I love the challenge of finding new locations for my doctors to explore, searching for the right role to fit available dates, finding fun family-friendly working holidays, and helping our more remote locations find cover and assistance.
Every day is an opportunity to work with incredible physicians, a chance to influence cultures, and positively impact our doctors and hospitals. physicians are an integral part of our hospitals, and it is incredibly satisfying to be able to present them with opportunities to further advance their careers, and or support their work-life balance and financial goals
I love that no day is the same. Physicians are at diverse stages with diverse goals that we can work towards.

Medrecruit continue to advocate for, educate, and work towards better health and wellbeing for all doctors.

This depends on where you work – the hospital or clinic chooses how a doctor is paid. This will work one of three ways:
