He he... TRYING to be liberal is the right word here.
I am a graduated physio working in the Emirates and an expatriate.
:-) So i would be the perfect person to clarify all that is being said here.

I have been working at a private hospital for almost two years and sadly, i have not been able to be registered coz of the incompetencies of the LAW!!! :-S
I have all the necessary certificates, but unfortunately not the xperience. Thus, i am working under the title of Physiotherapy RESIDENT / TRAINEE!!!! while carrying the full work load & responsibilities of a physio department.

Mel, you really have to think it over about coming here, but with your certificate and nationality, you have a good chance to land a good job here. To be safe, i would advice you to complete your few months left to complete a full 2 years of work experience and come with a letter stating that. Coz, it might say that you need 1 year experience on the MOH site, but the story can so easily change when you are here and there will be nothing you can do about it.

There is definite salary discrepancies based on nationalities and above that, there is no REAL labour laws, what you might think is unjust will remain your opinion and unchangeable.

I am not trying to put this country down, they are trying, they have just issued a law in Dubai where they will be fixing the salary scales for each profession. They are also trying to bring up health insurance schemes (which you donot necesary have with any institution you work for) and such.

It would be better you come down and take a look around. You could go to a couple of hospitals and ask around too. As they say, Better the devil you know, than the devil you dont.
