title: A successful initiative for getting refugee doctors back into medical employment: the PRIME project.
abstract: Refugee doctors find it difficult to get back to medical work in their new countries. This article describes the setting up and evaluation of the Placing Refugee doctors In Medical Employment (PRIME) project which resulted in 15 out of 25 participants getting substantive jobs in open competition within a year, and suggests this approach should be more widely adopted.
