PROFESSIONAL AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
In accordance with the legislation of each country, EMERGENCY offers periods of 6 months of residency in its hospitals to resident physicians undertaking their training in certain areas of Medicine, Surgery and Clinical Services. These opportunities, regulated by specific single or multi-annual agreements, are offered on voluntary base and require a period of training, clinical practice and research under the supervision of international expert specialists.
With the exception of charges for professional registration, which must be maintained during the mission, all expenses will be covered by EMERGENCY.
The opportunity to collaborate with specialist doctors is subject to the staffing needs of the individual Centres and may vary according to the planning of the resources and activities of the projects themselves.
Following the application, if it matches the requirements, the trainee will receive an in-depth Questionnaire to fill in, aimed at better understanding his/her motivations, experiences and aptitudes before the selection interview.
Once the Questionnaire has been evaluated, within a month, the candidate will be invited to an initial online interview with the HR Department and the Specialty Area Contact.
Once the selection process has been positively completed, you become part of the pool of suitable candidates who may be contacted with an official proposal to work on a specific project.
From the time of the interview to the actual mission proposal there may be a time lag of 2 weeks to 6 months, depending on the staff planning needs identified by the HR Department.
