By interrogating the migration of African doctors in three European countries (United Kingdom, France and Switzerland), this article intends to go beyond an approach that exclusively looks into the main reasons for their migration. It takes into account the entire migrant’s career and especially her/ his specific occupational integration in the host country. In doing so, this paper aims at understand- ing the common reasons of the choice to leave their country of origin, and the profoundly different situations of arrival. The analysis of the national contexts studied here underscores the considerable importance of the political and institutional legacy in the host countries regarding the possibility to work as a physician.
Keywords: International migration, physician with an African degree, occupational careers, institu- tional context, Europe
