Foreign Healthcare Professional’s Recruiting Program For Clients
TGS Healthcare Solutions, LLC (TGS) is a global firm with an outstanding record of providing staffing and recruiting services. For over 10 years, TGS has recruited and managed the immigration of international professionals for careers in the U.S. TGS specializes in staffing for the healthcare industry.
Because of the severe shortage of Nurses and Therapists faced by U.S. healthcare facilities, and because the process to acquire healthcare personnel from foreign sources is burdensome, risky and costly, TGS developed the Foreign Healthcare Professional’s Recruiting Program to provide the healthcare industry with qualified nurses and therapists. The Program has been successfully implemented at TGS client facilities with outstanding results on all levels of service and quality.
In addition to its own international offices, TGS has put in place alliance programs to recruit nurses and therapists from several established and prominent sources. Included in this group are superior foreign hospitals. All personnel have Diploma, Bachelor or Master degrees specific to their discipline, are experienced and are prepared for positions in the United States. Preparation and training can include:
| US Healthcare Roles and Responsibilities | Test Preparation for English Language and US Licensure Examinations |
| HIPAA / OSHA Regulatory Compliance | Language sensitization |
| Cultural Adaption | Client Specific Policies and Procedures |
