As of August 17th, 2008 I was employed as a full time 'Health Science Technology' teacher at Debakey High School For Health Professions - Qatar (click link to read about the school)
In a nutshell I will be teaching medical terminology and talking about possible careers that they may choose, and the basics of nursing practice - BP's, temps, bedmaking etc....
The students will eventually go to the local hospitals for pracs and overseeing them will be part of my job also.
We had our first staff meeting today and we are a real multicultural team. Two of us are from Brisbane - Aspley & Petrie can you believe that!!!! By the sounds of things all of us are extremely lucky to be chosen to work at this school, it sure sounds like there are exciting times ahead. This school was chosen from many around the world to be replicated here in Doha - the other is in Texas.
No photos at this stage as the building is not completed yet. So I sit here and wait (and on full pay) for the building to be completed before September 1st 'Inshallah'.
I'll keep you posted.
