JA is calling me

10 years ago
Hi all

I am a newly qualified doctor here in the UK. I am half Jamaican (other side is African-American) and I have visited the Island since I was very young. I have always left a part of me in JA and now that I have finished a very long degree, I feel like it is only right that I give living out there a go!

Currently, I have planned to travel out there for 2 months and live alone in Ochi, to get a feel of what it is like to fend for myself.

However, I don't know what it is like for doctors in JA. I have to finish 2 years worth of post-grad training in the UK before I could completely transition to JA.

I also have no clue on areas to look at! My family live in Clarendon - far too slow for me and I usually vacation in Ochi - maybe a little too touristy with only one hospital in St Ann's Bay.

If anyone has any tips on the best place to reside for a 27 single female doctor. it would be much appreciated!
