Doctors - Salaries/allowances/living/Training /-a-t-/ HMC.

I have no idea about the salary, but my real estate agent showed me the new housing for the Asian Games. She told me that after the games, the housing would used for hospital employees. In a guide book, it's listed as Married Dr. Housing. Looked pretty nice. Good luck... I'll be working at WCMC-Q and you may be working with some of our students.

Thanks "Around in 80 days" and "doctvm" for quick response. Sounds good, fingers crossed now. Thanks again.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum. I'm a doctor from Tunisia and I consider applying for a job in Qatar.

I learned so much about Qatar from this cool website, there's so much useful information but, just like dr S i guess, nowhere could I find something specific about salaries, allowances for doctors, nurses, dentists working at the HMC or elsewhere (private hospitals, Al Ahli, American hospital.

I know it all might depend on the country of citizenship, the degrees... but it could be nice to have at least an idea about what to expect, some raw numbers...

Any feedback from doctors would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, thanx to the user "Dentist" who gave me some very interesting insights about work at the HMC.

Have a nice week end everybody.

hello Dr did u got Official job contract letter from HMC . You didn't gave any good news. We all waiting for Your earliest reply.

Hi, My name's Tania. I'm new to Qatar Living. Actually I just found out about the residency training program conducted by the Arab Medical Board at Hamad Hospital a couple of weeks back. I was hoping somebody could give me a bit of information about these residencies.

I have got the basics: there's an exam and an interview conducted in August etc... But I looking out for some specific info. Like what chance does an expatriate (South Asian) doctor on a visit visa stand of getting into a residency training program?

Are there any expatriates undergoing a residency training program at Hamad Hospital?

Also does Hamad Hospital prefer not to hire "female doctors on visit visas" into their residency programs. Thats what I heard so I just wanted to clarify.

Please somebody help me out coz right now I am in a dilemma. I don't know whether I should attempt the exams (Hamad Hospital exams) this year!

Waiting for a reply!!!

Thanks!!

Tania

Hi Moskvich,
3 months is not long for HMC. Some of my friends at HMC waited 6 months or more after accepting a verbal contract offer.

One of my friends who works at HMC tells me they are having political problems at a high level right now. Some executives are trying to stop any new non-Qatari appointments.

Hope this doesn't cause you a problem.

I am Nenad,physiotherapist from Serbia.Can you give any information about physiotherapy department in HMC.I wish come and work in Qatar and now I am waiting call by recruitment agency from England.I am not Qatari,what is my chances for employment in HMC ? Best wishes, Nenad

It depends on your Specialization, Experience, qualification, Nationality etc. Are you an Indian Origin Canadian Citizen? Western Citizens get extra allawances. Salary structure depends on your grade.

why would the doctors come to Qatar to work unless you are interested in doing charity work. The doctors I met in States and Canada were making loads of money. I am not talking about specialists just plain GPs, General physicians. One doctor I met told me that he was making close two hundred thousand U.S. Dollars every years after all the freakin tax deductions. Thats like 50000-60000 Qatari Riyals per month in Qatar. I guess Dr. Hijazi (the renowned cardiac surgeon and now in Saudi Arabia) used to get about 90000 Qatari Riyals per month.
So seriously guys if you want to live the LIFE and have a True Status in the society, better work in North America.
Middle East is for engineers like us, who wouldnt be making good money back home specially after taxes
As per my view the ranking of professions in North America is

1)Doctors
2)Lawyers
3)Chartered Accoundatnts
4)Nurses, other health professionals, chiro, radio, physio etc
5)Engineers

So you can see where the engineers stand. Anyways You have every right to disagree with my judgement

This is all I have to say, if you remember what YOU said to me.

And Lolz /-a-t-/ Dare

I don't agree with you entirely on that knox... about engineers being paid less...

I think the point you are trying to make is that engineers have it tuff
you are right, it can be challenging...
but let me tell you doctors don't have it very easy too you know
Just today I gave a lift to a doctor with 7 years experience and her situation was worse than any of the scenarios you have given in your last comment... Not all doctors work in Hamad you know...
