Physician immigration to developed countries is on the rise, but the reasons behind Turkish physicians' migration are still not well understood.
A study of 9,881 senior medical students in Türkiye showed that 70.7% intend to emigrate, with about 60% wanting to stay abroad permanently.
The main factors influencing their decisions include poor working conditions in Türkiye and a desirable social environment abroad, along with concerns about medical school quality significantly impacting their emigration intentions.
