mari33 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hi all :) I'm currently about to attend PA School and the excitement I have is beyond words. However I have a bit of a problem I was hoping someone could help me with as it seems I can't find a concrete answer anywhere online. I live in the US and am a US citizen (have been all my life) however once I finish PA School, I will be moving to Dubai because that is where my Fiancé lives and works. It would be extremely difficult for him to come here and find a job, but over there he is doing very well. I was just wondering if anyone knew about the certified physician assistant job market in Dubai. Will I be able to find a job? Will I be getting a decent salary? (I'm aware it won't be as much as if I had experience.) Any information that anyone might have that relates to this would be DEEPLY appreciated Thank you so much in advance, Best, Mariam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMtoPA Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I don't think there is such a thing as a PA job market in Dubai. You might be able to find a job as a contractor at one of the US military bases in the Gulf States (Bahrain, Qatar), but it's kind of a long shot, especially right out of school.

I really found myself in a frustrating position! Not sure what to do :/ Nonetheless, thank you for the reply! Best, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkth487 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I do get emails and calls from time to time about job offers (which seem extravagant) working in Dubai for physicians, but I haven't found one for PAs. It may be possible though - I would just contact a US physician that's working in Dubai and see if he/she can help you get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICUPA Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 An alum from my program accepted a job as a PA through the Cleveland Clinic in Abu Dhabi. I know that is the not the same as Dubai, but maybe looking into that first can lead you to some answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
