Medics in Morocco

[YoungDoc]

I would love to move from UK to Morocco after spending time there on holiday. I have really fallen in love with the place. While in Errachidia and Essaouria I heard about difficulties many Morrocans had in getting access to a doctor. I am currently studying medicine and I would like to know the prospects for working in the medical profession in Morocco, especially who I should contact regarding exam requirements, what kind of doctors are most needed, also which language I would be better off studying e.g. French or Arabic. I would probably want to live and work in Essaouria, Merzouga or Fes. Any advice would be welcome. I am particularly interested to hear from other medical students, health professionals or those who have moved to Morocco from abroad to work in a Moroccan hospital.

Shukran!

I agree it's an easy place to fall for... Can't help you with your enquiry, but I wish you the best of luck with your endeavours.

you can always start by volunteering with the US peace corps in Morocco and from there on get to know the country and its labour laws ...ect.
