Call for abstracts: mobility of healthcare professionals
This panel seeks to explore mobility of healthcare professionals such as nu=
rses, care workers, doctors, or dentists. In times of worldwide increasing =
labour shortages in healthcare, many healthcare institutions are aiming to =
attract healthcare professionals from abroad. For example, according to WHO=
statistics, one in eight nurses currently practice in a country different =
from the one they were born in or trained. While their skills are in high d=
emand, at the same time, some healthcare professionals, especially those mo=
ving from the Global South to the Global North, encounter obstacles such as=
de-skilling and a lack of recognition of qualifications. In this panel we =
aim to examine mobility of healthcare professionals from different perspect=
ives, raising questions such as: How do processes such as de-skilling and c=
ultural differences in medical practice play a role in the experiences of m=
igrant healthcare professionals? How does working abroad for shorter or lon=
ger periods of time impact their career development and aspirations? What a=
re the experiences of mobile and non-mobile healthcare professionals with w=
orking in an international environment? How do sending and receiving states=
regulate mobility and/or migration of healthcare professionals and with wh=
at effects? What is the role of national bodies such as nursing association=
s or licensing organisations? What are the experiences of healthcare profes=
sionals who are family migrants or forced migrants and want to practice in =
their country of settlement? Aiming for a more nuanced perspective on mobil=
ity of healthcare professionals, we especially (but not exclusively) welcom=
e contributions that focus on mobility within the Global South as well as o=
n return migration.
