Working as a doctor

[Joevincent]

Hi expats,

I am a qualified doctor from the UK looking to transfer my training and get a job in Buenos Aires. I have really struggled to find clear information on how to go about doing this and seem to be going round in circles. I wonder if anyone here has successfully done this and is now working here and could advise me on the process of getting qualifications verified, DNI, labour contracts Spanish exams etc.

Thanks in advance.

......There are two types of validation : the one that is needed to continue postgraduate studies in health specialties and the one carried out for professional practice . The validations requested for the continuation of postgraduate studies in health are provisional and are granted only for the purposes of performing hospital medical practices. On the other hand, the validations for the professional exercise are definitive and, according to the bilateral agreement with each country, its procedure can be direct or indirect. In the latter case, a committee of experts is the one who carries out the evaluation of the study plan, by similarity with the academic obligations of a public university in Argentina.....For both cases, they must submit the following documentation in digital form.:....click on 2nd link to continue reading the instructions.
