Passport facts that correspond with the published opportunity: profession, registration, experience, clinical setting and relevant credentials.

NO MYSTERY.
READ THE CHART.
MATCH is planned. Automated opportunity matching and employer discovery are not currently live. Passport is available now; MATCH is intended to compare candidate facts with published requirements and explain what aligns and what needs checking.
THE PLANNED ROUTE / EXPLAINED
PASSPORT→ROLE→VESSEL→CHART→MATCH
The same clinician can face a different operating reality on a large resort ship, a boutique vessel or a remote expedition itinerary. Matching should preserve that context.
PLANNED CRITERIA
Signals MATCH would explain.
Information that is missing, ambiguous, time-sensitive or specific to the operator, vessel, itinerary or jurisdiction.
Useful preparation that may strengthen readiness without being misrepresented as a universal employment requirement.
WARD/WAKE DOCTRINE
THE VESSEL IS ONLY HALF
THE CLINICAL ENVIRONMENT.
The other half is the chart: where the vessel is going, what capability is aboard and how far the team may be from definitive care.

CANDIDATE CONTROL
Country of residence is practical travel context, never a proxy for clinical quality. Candidate-entered credentials remain self-declared unless Ward & Wake explicitly verifies them. Final eligibility and hiring decisions remain with the employer.
