Critical Care Paramedics in Qatar 98k

What's the outlook for physicians?

If you two are still there when I get through with residency (4 more years of formal education, 3 years of residency, and 1-2 years of specialization fellowship...really just around the corner if you think about it) I may want to come play.

Aaron...haven't heard form you in a while. How goes it?

I'll be retired by then running my own bar, Sorry Trav :rofl:
 
Drinks on you then...

How profitable do you intend to be? I am not being accusatory...let's just say I have seen you put back a few adult beverages...have to remember to save some for the customers!

I responded to your e mail by the way. Eagerly awaiting your response...
 
yeah sorry I wont assault our response vehicle again. ;-)
 
Oh and to answer your question, the outlook is good. MD pay is $250,000.00 tax free, pretty good considering Paramedic pay is about $98,000.00
 
What do spouses come over as with respect to visa status? Does the visa you come over on restrict taking classes at Qatar University (etc)?
 
Hey Christopher, the spouses fall under your visa, so you sponsor/allow them to work ect. I am pretty sure they also go to school in this manner. I'll wait for Armor10 to reply just to make sure.
 
Hmm, not sure. I do know a lot of people are doing Online course work. I'm actually looking at starting a Bachelors in EMS while I'm here. But it's Online. I do know George Town University offers an extension campus here. But it's ungodly expensive.
 
Doing great! This place is completely the opposite of that other place. (That shall not be named) The EMS system here is about 30-40 years ahead of that other place. We carry state of the art equipment. LUCAS, Glide Scopes, Fiber Optic Laryngoscopes, LifePak 15's, I stats, Proper Vents Oxylogs 3000 Plus. and a lot more. My family is here, we have a lovely Villa, I have always been paid on time, and paid what I was supposed to be paid. The kids are in school, bought the wife a BMW X5. I'm settled in. I can see myself staying here until the world cup rolls around for sure.

I'm very interested in this opportunity, however, I have had Way Too Much Fun(tm) with visas over the last year for my fiancee. We won't be done with this whole process until sometime in early 2014.

So my last question is, are there citizenship requirements for the spouse? She ain't no 'murrican (she's one of those freedom hating, poutine eatin', socialist healthcare Canarnians).

***This is not legal advise*** as we are not allowed to give that on EMTLIFE. However, my friend just went down to the court house, signed a marriage agreement with his girlfriend in one of their home countries, had it translated and notarized if applicable, and he was good to go. He made sure to get a prenup also ;-) As long as she is legally your spouse, it should not be a big deal to bring her, but double check with the proper channels, consult someone who can provide legal advise, and ask the recruiter for this contract.

Your first bit of advice can potentially be construed as visa fraud in the US depending on where you intend on living after you get married :-)
 
What your talking about is completely illegal here. Men, and women who are not married are NOT allowed to Co habitate. Now the chances are really small that you are going to get caught. But the prisons here in the Middle East make prisons in the US look like five star resorts. Also it's your families responsibility to feed you! No family, no lunch. I'll give you another example: Unmarried women here who get prego, go to jail! Until they have there baby, then they are both deported. Any women who comes here, or to your flat had better be your wife! All it would take is for your neighbor who always complains that you play your music to loud to call the police, and you'll be on the next episode of Locked up abroad. I think I've made my point.
 
sign a marriage document, takes about 15 minutes and you can do it in almost any country, even as a tourist, problem solved.

What I'm saying is we won't be married/complete with our visa process until late 2014 and thus could not leave until then. Does this change anything?
 
Not really, you can still come here before then. But she wont be able to until your married officially. Do not have her come and meet you here. Meet in Paris or somewhere else. Not the UAE either, though they are more liberal. Crazier things have happend. No reason to chance it.
 
you guys are talking about 2 different things I think.

1.Visa process for married couples in the U.S. or Canada
2.Marriage licence
A marriage licence can be obtained in about 15 minutes from your local court house, it does not mean your wife or husband has the right to live in the country you married in, its just a legal marriage document showing you have been married, that is what Qatar wants, not if she is legally allowed to reside in the united states or canada or whatever. They just want to see a document showing your married

Interview prep?

What all is involved in the interview process? Would grabbing a study guide for nremt be useful, should I review my ccemt-p books or is it pretty basic stuff? Also can you bring pets? I really love my dog to death, he doesnt seem to mind my boring ambulance stories.
 
Know your RSI procedure backwards, and forwards. Also be ready to explain and prove your RSI experience. Remember to stress your experience working Independently. There is no Medical Control for you to call here. We're Independent Practicing Clinicians. When they were giving out Villa's here brining your Dog was ok. Now that your in the flats it's a no go. That being said, some people have a few cats as pets, and one or two that are the size of a large cat. Might bark, or growl at things. But I can neither confirm, or deny that.
 
Thanks for the quick response! I tried to PM you some questions but need 5 posts first... if you get a chance can you shoot me a pm so I dont have to drop lame comments with boring emoticons?:cool:
