Interesting Opportunity in Burma
An excellent opportunity exists for a young American general practitioner with an interest in surgery, to work with the Burma Surgeon, Dr. Gordon S. Seagrave, at his 250-bed hospital in Namkham, Burma. Minimum appointment is for 2 years. With satisfaction, an extended tenure would be encouraged. The candidate should be an American citizen of any race or religion, but his age should not exceed 40 years. He may be married or single. If he is married to a trained nurse, there would be an important place for her in the nurses training program; or to a teacher, an opportunity to teach in the secondary school on the hospital compound. Extensive experience is not a requirement, but graduation from an "A" class medical school is. Professional practice at the Namkham Hospital is intensive, widely varied, and often rare to Western medical experience. The candidate must be prepared to leave for Burma not later than the Spring of 1963, or sooner, if possible (depending upon issuance of his visa), so that his appointment can overlap that of the American physician now serving the program. This appointment offers a modest salary per annum. Travel expenses and Western style housing will be provided. Anyone interested should write to John F. Rich, Executive Vice-chairman, American Medical Center for Burma, Inc., 6 Penn Center Plaza, Philadelphia 3, Pennsylvania, including a statement of qualifications.
