The transnational migration of health care practitioners has become a critical issue in global health policy and ethics. Doctors beyond Borders provides an essential historical perspective on this international issue, showing how foreign-trained doctors have challenged - and transformed - health policy and medical practice in countries around the world.

Drawing on a wide variety of sources, from immigration records and medical directories to oral histories, the contributors study topics ranging from the influence of South Asian doctors on geriatric medicine in the United Kingdom to the Swedish reaction to the arrival of Jewish physicians fleeing Nazi Germany and the impact of the Vietnam War on the migration of doctors to Canada. Combining social history, the history of health and medicine, and immigration history, Doctors beyond Borders is an impressive selection of essays on a topic that continues to have global relevance.

Industry Reviews
'The audience of this excellent collection of essays ought to include: medical, labour, and economic historians; scholars specializing in imperial, global, and migration studies; and health policy analysts. This book should also end up on undergraduate and graduate reading lists across many fields.' -- J.T.H. Connors * Canadian Journal of History vol 52:03:2017 *
