UK-based Nigerian doctor plans to start over
Identified as @tinahaneet on TikTok, she said she went to the UK as an international medical graduate (IMG) doctor.
After almost two years of a futile job hunt, she has decided to move to Australia to start from scratch and work towards becoming a doctor in the country.
Her TikTok video was captioned:
“I am a 29-year-old IMG doctor who gave all she had to work as a doctor in UK but hasn’t been able to get a job in almost 2 years.
“Now I’m starting afresh from zero to begin a new pathway towards working as a doctor in Australia.”
She added:
“Failure only happens when we quit! My life is so rich that I count every experience a blessing either for now or in the future. As long as I have life, I have another opportunity to try again. If you’re reading this, I want you to know it’s never too late to pick yourself up and try again.”
