Doctors for the world: Indian physician emigration.
Almost 60,000 Indian physicians practice in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia--a workforce equal to 10 percent of the physicians in India and the largest émigré physician workforce in the world. I traveled to India to interview leaders in medical education, health policy, and public health, to better characterize and understand Indian physician emigration. A changing political and policy environment in India is raising new questions about what might be done to keep more of India's physicians at home.
