Hi,
I recently accepted a position with the University of the South Pacific in Suva, and as part of the process they've asked for medical documents. Some of these requirements have seemed a bit stringent, verging on the impossible, and I'm wondering if there are ways to work around them.
For example, I take anti-anxiety medications in the states, and they are requiring a psychiatrist's report detailing the history of my usage. However, I have never had a psychiatrist nor is one necessary to prescribe these medications. My primary care physician, who is not a psychiatrist, provided them with information, but USP is adamant that a psychiatrist write the report.
I'm wondering if anybody has encountered similar problems with employment checks and, if so, if there are any workarounds to getting paperwork completed.
Best,
Dan
