CHARACTERISTISATION OF DOCTORS CONSIDERING WORK
ABROAD
Doctors thinking about foreign employment can be characterised from a wide variety of
perspectives. Apart from the usual socio-demographic characteristics, their professional
character, professional classification, type of healthcare facilities and length of practice in the
field were also monitored.
Methodologically it is important to take the fact that the selection sample of doctors was
relatively small into consideration. Thus in the following text we present a comparison of the
group of doctors with a positive attitude towards migration with the group of doctors that is
not striving for work abroad. The question is whether the monitored characteristics of
migration-oriented doctors are different and to what degree.
