Hello, I just moved to Santo Domingo to live with my husband. I am a liscenced anesthesiologist from Lebanon & france. I speak arabic, french & English. Intermediate Spanish for now.


Do you know what is the process so I can find a job in DR?

Where I should apply, do private hospitals hire foreigners!

Welcome to the forum!


First of all, you will need to have residency here to work legally in any capacity.


To work as a doctor, you will have to be certified here in DR. I'm not sure what all that involves, but I have a friend who is Dominican, went to medical school here in DR, then moved to the US for her residency. She wants to move back to DR, and the licensing process, even for her, is not easy!


You will also likely need to be fluent in Spanish. I'm sure any exams required for certification would be in Spanish.
