US Dept of State regional medical officer/psychiatrist positions
I was a RMOP in this position for 14 years, with numerous overseas appointments as well as a Wash DC leadership tour. 1. This is a great and exciting career, but it's not for everybody. The work is challenging and varied. It requires extensive (50-60% or more) regional travel, so this career path is very hard on one's family. Tour lengths are 2-3 years, and the first 2 assignments are directed, most often to hardship posts in the Middle East, Africa, Russia, China, India, or Latin America...

Diversity Essay Topic Help & Immigrant Father
Hi all, I'm debating on whether to mention in secondary essays that my father is from South Africa. He immigrated here in the 80s, and his nationality is part of my culture; I grew up eating babotie and South African pancakes and other foods, taking part in some traditions, and learning some Afrikaans. I learned about the immigration process and my dad's experiences adjusting to a new culture. This seems like a natural thing to talk about in diversity essays. My qualm with mentioning this...
