I guess there must be many doctors wanting to work here or who come here with their spouses. But I did not find any thread addressing their problems or struggles for working here

I am a doctor and have moved to Hong Kong sometime back. Is there any foreign doctor / medical graduate
-who is working here in medical / non-medical field, or
-looking for a job, or
-thinking of applying and preparing for HKMLE (2009)?

Really interested in learning what my counterparts are doing here and what all they have to share from their experiences...

Thanks KnowItAll.
I have already been through this thread and other related ones but still haven't got my answer. I know clearing the HKMLE is the simplest of all answers but definitely not the most practical or easiest.

I mean qualifying HKMLE requires one year(if you happen to clear it in the first go) and then one year of internship makes it 2 precious years of life, and then you can't imagine of moving to a new place and taking that country's licensing exam all over again.

There might be some more flexible answers where doctors take up jobs where they can carry forward their experience and not keep clearing the licensing exams everywhere. But the question is, how many doctors actually have to leave their clinical jobs due to various circumstances and what do they eventually land up with?
