MANILA, Philippines — Guam will be needing not just Filipino construction workers but health workers as well, a recruitment consultant said on Sunday.

“Aside from construction workers, Guam will also be hiring nurses and other health care workers with the impending relocation of US Marines and dependents from Okinawa," Emmanuel Geslani said in a statement.

Demand for health care workers is expected to start by 2012 when the relocation has already been completed, enough time for those interested to work in Guam to prepare.

“Aspiring Filipino nurses and doctors can now prepare by taking the necessary licensure examinations," he said.

Guam will require other health care workers such as medical technicians in radiology, cardio labs, CT-Scan, occupational and physical therapists, medical transcriptionists and medical administrative personnel.
