In the US, there was the 'Journal of the Association for Academic Minority Physicians'. This was published up to 2005, and it might be a source to use for forward tracking of authors and clinical work.

Hope this helps.,

Even we in Germany have recently more and more foreign doctors especially from East Europe i never heard about a Research paper about them. So thanks to Michail for the literature i am interested in as well.

You can also search the website of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). I used the key-word (healthcare worker) and it gives some interesting results

Hi Sofia,

Finland follows the numbers of immigrant/foreign origin health and social care professionals in the national health and social welfare system. The full statistical report is unfortunately available only in Finnish, but you can find an overview here:

https://www.thl.fi/en/web/thlfi-en/statistics/statistics-by-topic/personnel-in-the-health-and-social-services/international-mobility-of-social-welfare-and-health-care-services-personnel 

Also, the research group that studies the subject of immigrant healthcare workforce in Finland has relatively recently published this article:

Inflows of foreign-born physicians and their access to employment and work experiences in health care in Finland: qualitative and quantitative study. Human Resources for Health 2014, 12:41  doi:10.1186/1478-4491-12-41 (Open Access). http://www.human-resources-health.com/content/12/1/41

I am sure that if you contact the corresponding author (Hannamaria Kuusio [email protected] ), she will be happy to provide you with additional information.

All the best with your research.

Hi again, correction to my previous entry. Actually, the statistics report I provided the link to, contains also an English translation of the material, in spite its Finnish title.

 You may also want to check these articles, for the findings of surveys performed in collaboration with the Finnish Medical Association:

Please check the link. It includes my PhD study of foreign-born physicians' integration to primary care i n Finland (A comparative study on challenges in the psychosocial work environment of Finnish and foreign-born general practitioners).

I co-supervised a PhD in nursing about migrant eastern european health workers in Portugal (if you can read Portuguese and have an interest I will give you the student's email).    

You may want to follow what is happening with Cuban doctors in Brazil at the moment. 

I have just completed masters research on high-skilled immigrants and I found good references to Medical Doctors experiences in Ireland from the following sources:

It reminds me Frantz Fanon, in France.....http://www.iep.utm.edu/fanon/

There's a great book called Black Man in a White Coat: Reflections on Race in Medicine. That would be a good place to start.

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Man-White-Coat-Reflections/dp/1250044634/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452263183&sr=8-1&keywords=black+in+medicine

A lot of research has been done in New Zealand on race in medical culture. Search cultural safety.
