Need an research paper on recruitment and selection of doctors. Needs to be 8 pages. Please no plagiarism. The paper has examined the various issues and recommended three options that would help TEMC to increase recruitment and retaining of skilled doctors. The options include: obtaining sufficient funds and paying adequate wages. creating a network of skilled doctors who would be sent on rotation to remote areas. creating a robust IT infrastructure with video conferencing that would help experienced doctors in urban areas to diagnose patients in remote areas and guide fresh recruits to provide better treatment. It is expected that if the recommendations are adopted, then there would be more experienced consultation available for patients in remote areas.

Doctors and trained physicians are the life support entities of any healthcare system and this is more so in remote and rural areas that have few hospitals and health care units. Gorman (2009) reports that many regions of Queensland and New Zealand have 70% of required doctors. The author has reported that these regions also have a high level of dependency on foreign-born doctors and about 42% of the doctors in these regions are of foreign origin. While this factor should not be an issue since foreign-born doctors are also competent, the disturbing fact is that it is difficult to attract and retain doctors in the rural areas of Queensland. Fowler (1997) comments that while fresh doctors and interns do join the rural practice, it is meant to fulfil certain requirements to obtain a medical degree. The author has estimated that since 2005, about 182 to 681 doctors per annum have left the rural practice and migrated to bigger cities with better career prospects. Better career prospects in cities, changing priorities, poor rural living conditions and lack of skill development can frustrate even the most ardent and medical practitioner who would then quit the rural posting. This behaviour and trend among doctors have become very severe and the lives of children, pregnant women, aboriginal people and the elderly are at stake.

This paper examines the case of Top End Medical Care hospital – TEMC in far North Queensland, Australia that is facing problems in the recruitment of doctors.&nbsp. &nbsp.
