Over the last 19 months I have been working with the JPS Medical Recruitment team. They have been very supportive and efficient in defining my desired work place and find matching opportunities in Australia. There have been several very interesting positions I interviewed for and consecutively received contract offers from. The one which I finally preferred was the one I initially did not consider in Alice Springs Hospital, NT. I recall a suggestion to “give it a shot, as there have been quite a number of people loving it”. As it turned out, they were right and I really enjoy working here with the mix of very rural focussed aboriginal medicine, severe cardiovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease, renal disease, addiction medicine and infectious disease. This is also a good opportunity to engage in teaching as we do accept students from different states and universities with the lead from Flinders University. On the other hand there are endless opportunities here for sport and outdoor activities. I also enjoy the relaxed way of life in the Northern Territories. I would like to thank JPS Medical Recruitment for their professional support.
