From 1860 around forty percent of Ireland’s medical graduates left to pursue careers elsewhere. The book examines the factors which drove emigration, the shifting destinations of the emigrants and the effect of migration both upon them and the Ireland they left behind.  This was  the migration  of a part of the Irish middle class, small in terms of Irish emigration as a whole, but important  in the global history of medical migration. At the end of the twentieth century doctor migration as a whole has increased and become a significant part of the medical experience. The book is a contribution to the growing literature on the global history of doctor movements across the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures and Tables  Abbreviations    Introduction   1 Irish Emigration   2\tDoctor Migration   3\tThe Internationalisation of Medicine   4\tThe Structure of the Book    1 The Medical Institutions of Ireland   1\tThe Medical Registration Act 1858   2\tThe Evolution of Irish Medical Education   3\tThe Hospitals   4\tThe Poor Law   5\tProfessional Organisations in Ireland and Britain   6\tThe Number of Doctors in Ireland   7\tThe Over-Production of Doctors in Ireland   8\tConclusion    2 Making a Medical Living   1\tGeneral Practice in Ireland and England   2\tGeneral Practice in Ireland   3\tPrivate Practice   4\tThe Doctors’ Boycott   5\tConclusion    3 The British Empire   1\tThe Indian Medical Service   2\tFar-Flung Shores   3\tThose Who Returned   4\tThe IMS and the Scientific Mind   5\tThe Decline of the Colonial Medical Services   6\tConclusion    4 Medicine, Migration and the Making of the Irish Middle Class   1\tThe Costs of Medical Education in Ireland   2\tCatholics, Medicine and Social Mobility   3\tThe Catholic Middle Classes and Medicine   4\tIncome, Class and Migration   5\tMigration, Money and the Middle-Class Family   6\tMigration and a Medical Dynasty   7\tMigration and Poverty   8\tIreland’s Intellectual Resources   9\tConclusion    5 Partition   1\tThe Settlement in Health   2\tThe Registration Crisis   3\tConnections Maintained   4\tThe Border with Ireland   5\tThe Future of Medicine in Ireland   6\tThe Notion of Being Irish and Emigration   7\tConclusion    6 The Irish Doctor in Interwar Britain   1\tThe Insurance Act and Migration   2\tThe Distribution of Graduates from Irish Medical Schools   3\tFriendship and Collegiality   4\tThe “Powerful Army” of Catholic Doctors and Practice in Britain   5\tThe Guild of SS Luke, Cosmos and Damian   6\tProfessional Integration   7\tThe Role of the State in Health Care   8\tThe National Health Service and the Irish Migrant Doctor   9\tConclusion    7 The Lure of America   1\tThe Rockefeller Visit to Ireland   2\tMedical Immigration to the United States   3\tThe AMA, Doctor Immigration and the Approved List   4\tThe Irish Medical Emigrant and the USA   5\tThe Approved List and the Foreign Medical Schools   6\tIreland and the Approved List   7\tThe Irish Medical Schools and the Irish Doctor   8\tThe End of the Approved List   9\tConclusion    8 Inward Migration   1\tThe State and Medical Education   2\tMedical Education in the New Era   3\tForeign Students   4\tA Private Medical School in the Age of Globalisation   5\tThe Future of Irish Medical Emigration   6\tConclusion    Epilogue  Appendix  Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210690191703,"sku":"9789004324459","price":122.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/doctors-for-export-medical-migration-from-ireland-c-1860-to-1960-9789004324459","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
