-- ABOUT ME --

My name is Eunice and I'm a doctor from New Zealand & a digital nomad exploring the world. ✨

I create videos about how I navigate through the HUSTLE life, looking for my purpose amongst the mundane "daily". In 2023 I am taking a year break from medicine to travel and find myself.

I am documenting this journey to remind myself that it is possible to pursue your passions, even when you have a demanding job and scarce free time.

I hope you'll find this content helpful for yall out there feeling burnt out and stuck in the rat race too!

[garikgasparyan]

Hi. Thank you for this video.
I am an IMG from Russia grad 2004. I have 10 years of experience in ICU. I have done USMLE Step 1, 2, 3. I am an US citizen. It's very hard to find residency in us because of my graduation year. I wanna discuss the possibility to come to New Zealand. Can we talk about that. I can pay you for real help

[LightupQ-wkbu]

the information you gave is useful to me.I'm from BURMA.I only got MBBS and wanna be surgeon but such that way I'll be so far from that. These criteria are very hard to get for me;esp language even though we had learnt in English but not fluent.i'll try if I have to one day.many more returns!!

Hi there, ty for the video. Umm at 8:08, it has been shown that we need to complete 1 yr of pg experience before applying for NZREX clinical? I'm confused PG in what? Like in any subject?

[anasamer]

I had a question about the New Zealand route since it allowed those with a blab to go there directly

Is it easier to get a training job in New Zealand than in uk ?

Is the New Zealand fellowship equal in the Gulf to the British fellowship?

[nishaabdin]

Very well detailed information. Could u tell me how to get a PGY1 job offer ?? Ive already done my PLAB and looking to register via that

[krishnendumondal]

Hello ma'am I am from India currently final year MBBS, can you actually describe the current scenario of getting the opportunity to be a doctor in New Zealand, and also are there any scholarships or such as due to currency exchange rate, it is actually a little bit difficult for me to afford a decent lifestyle in New Zealand...
😊

[deepchapla]

Thanks for the video, can you please elaborate more about how an international medical graduate finds a job for PGY1 . Because for getting registration through examination pathway in MCNZ, it’s required to have PGY1 offer . Can you please guide, how an IMG can get PGY1 job ?

Thank you in advance

can i move to newzeland as a international graduate but i have plab exam and GMC registratoin

[sami-qhvn]

Hello everyone,

I am from Nepal and have successfully completed my PLAB-1 and PLAB-2 exams, obtaining registration as a doctor in the UK. Despite applying for jobs from Nepal for over a year, I have not been able to secure a position. Consequently, I am considering applying to work in New Zealand. If anyone has information on how I can practice as a doctor in New Zealand with my UK registration, please share your insights.
