What job options are there for a foreign doctor? - 06-27-2010, 02:31 PM

Hi all, I'm sure a lot of questions get asked about work in japan, and that a lot have most likely been answered somewhere on the net already, however vie yet to find much info about my topic.

I'm currently working as a doctor here in Australia having completed medical school last year, and am at the stage where making a career choice to specialise means signing the next 8-10 years of my life away. I have long been contemplating working outside of the traditional clinical role most doctors have in dealing with patients, and am actually open to any form of work that is somewhat enjoyable with good work life balance,

I'm wondering what fields of work, or specific jobs there might be for someone like me in japan. The teaching route is the most obvious one, just wondering if there are any other choices out there?

I do have quite a bit of experience in teaching, although mostly medically related, and quite good experience in sales both through part time work, and
Small business ventures in the past.

Any and all advice would be appreciated, as I'm starting to think about where I want to be next year. I do realize that working as a doctor in japan is out of the question, and notmsomething im all that interested in, unless there were some specialized niche.

Many thanks all!

Daniel
