Abstract:
Thirty physicians who immigrated together from South America to Israel were followed during their first two years in Israel. Success in the medical requalifying examination and finding work as physicians correlated directly with permanency in Israel, and, inversely, returning to country of origin was associated with being unqualified and unemployed. Age, sex, marital status, religion and previous professional status were not associated with permanency in Israel.
