Migration of health professionals has been an important issue on the agenda of governments in recent years. The European Union directive on the recognition of professional qualifications coupled with labour shortages in the health sector has led to a growing mobility of physicians from both European countries and non-European Economic Area (EEA) countries. This study takes a deeper look at these migration phenomena in the Portuguese case. A significantly convergent dual pattern of migration is shown to emerge, in which the growth of intra-European migration has broadly continued to coexist with the maintenance of traditional overseas immigration channels.
近年来，卫生专业人员的迁移一直是各国政府议程上的一个重要问题。欧盟关于专业资格认可的指令，再加上卫生部门的劳动力短缺，导致来自欧洲国家和非欧洲经济区（EEA）国家的医生流动性日益增加。本研究更深入地探讨了葡萄牙案例中的这些迁移现象。研究表明，一种显著趋同的双重迁移模式正在出现，其中欧洲内部迁移的增长大体上继续与传统海外移民渠道的维持并存。
