021 - Dr Rose Unsworth - what it's like working in New Zealand as an overseas qualified veterinarian

What's it like working in New Zealand as an overseas-qualified veterinarian?

This episode is the first in the library collection about what it’s like for an overseas-qualified veterinarian to work in New Zealand as a veterinarian.  Because, as I’m sure you know, not all overseas qualified veterinarians can actually work here as a veterinarian without re-qualifying first.

Dr Rose Unsworth and I talked about all sorts of things:  

the differences in pet insurance uptake and how that manifests in-clinic,  different induction processes for locums at different clinics,and the varying health & safety rules and regs in different parts of the world.
