Medical Providers in TT

10 years ago

I am being recruited to move to TT from the US to practice medicine there. I have decided that it would be an opportunity to do something that will really make a difference for a lot of people. However, they seem to be seriously dragging their feet with months of delays processing my paperwork to secure credentials to practice there. I am told that the governent is heavily recruiting doctors and other providers from around the globe, so I hope that means things are still on track. Some of my expat friends have reassured me that this is not uncommon in the Caribbean, but it still rings a sour note with me that there may be problems there that I don't foresee. Can anybody else cast shed some light on what to expect?
