Testimonials

I used David Martin to assist me in arranging a hospital position in internal medicine in New Zealand. The experience in New Zealand was the most enjoyable and rewarding of my 35 year career in medicine such that I extended my one year stay into 4 years. The internal medicine practice in New Zealand is generally hospital based with the general internist acting as consultant to the primary care doctors and managing most of acute care problems in the hospital. There is great support from all levels of trainees and plenty of time for teaching opportunities.

David Martin was very helpful in getting me through the immigration and licensing requirements and assisted in arranging initial housing, rental car, and general information about the area I worked in. He remained a valuable resource to me throughout my 4 years in New Zealand to keep me on track with the requirements of practice in New Zealand. If you want a great adventure in a beautiful country with a medical system that works, consider a tour of duty in New Zealand and if that strikes your fancy you can't go wrong working with David Martin to help get you there.

Dr J Steeper, Colorado, USA

My name is David Lewis and I've worked in New Zealand since 2002. I've worked many locums and accepted a permanent position in 2005 in Whakatane as an O & G Consultant. David Martin ran the office for the staff in our hospital. He was always helpful and a problem solver. When I decided to do locums only David was in a position where he could help me. His help has been invaluable. He knows what needs to be done, is focused, patient and works wonderfully with people. If you want to work in New Zealand you will not find a better advocate than David Martin.
