Objectives

To explore intentions, motivations and country preferences related with professional emigration in a sample of advanced medical students.

Design

Cross sectional and descriptive study.

Setting

11 Universities in Spain.

Participants

A total of 740 students in their two final courses.

Primary measurements

The survey used a self administered questionnaire asking about plans to emigrate, preferred destination countries and reasons for wishing to work abroad.

Results

A total of 740 valid questionnaires were collected, 711 (96%) from Spanish students and 26 (4%) from foreigner students. A preference to move abroad was indicated by 375 (51%) students, the most popular destinations being United Kingdom, USA, Canada and Portugal. The answers were classified using categories from 鈥渧ery important鈥?to 鈥渘ot important鈥? As a 鈥渧ery important鈥?reason, 鈥淭o work in a better health care system鈥?was chosen by 276 students, 鈥淭o continue with my medical education and training鈥?by 160, 鈥淭o work in an environment that allows me to progress鈥?by 269, and 鈥淭o earn a better salary鈥?by 243 students.

Conclusions

The study illustrates various motivational factors which of why medical students wish to move abroad in search of better professional conditions. The use of appropriate interventions could modify these attitudes. This study could be a starting point for exploring and analyzing the conditions of undergraduate medical students in Spain as a key to address the problem of medical emigration.
