Where can I find a list of open doctor positions in Costa Rica?
Additional Details My wife and I are US citizens, looking to possibly move to Costa Rica. She is a physician. We are looking at rural/small towns in the Nicoya area
My guess is that working for the Costa Rican government-run hospitals would be difficult, but there are also private hospitals where she could work.
I would suggest to contact the following places and enquire:
Costa Rican College of Physicians:
e-mail: info@medicos.sa.cr
(I'm sure there will be people who can read and write English at that office)
Clinica Biblica, founded by English-speaking missionaries:
http://www.clinicabiblica.com/english/index.php
UCIMED (Medical Sciences University), because they have agreements with American universities:
http://www.ucimed.com/ucimed/index.htm
contact: corderocc@ucimed.com
Your wife will have to bring her transcripts, diplomas and degrees with her because that's the first thing they will ask for if she wants to be recognized as a physician.
Good luck!

You could check the job listings on craigslist, or post an ad yourself that says you are looking for an open doctor position. Craigslist has a section just for Costa Rica.
Do you know anyone in Costa Rica who could tell you some places that might be hiring?

U must find the web pages of: Hospital CIMA, or Hospital clÃnica BÃblica

Are you Costa Rican or were you educated in Costa Rica? I am not sure such a list exists for foreigners. You have to be a Costa Rican to work for the government supported health care system and that makes up a big portion of the health sector. Officially Costa Rica has a healthcare worker surplus and it is very difficult for a foreigner to practice there. There are of course physician shortages in rural areas.
