Summary:The main directions of the migratory flow of health specialists are towards more developed countries. Around 1/3 of Romanian health professions graduates are working abroad while the national health system faced with a chronic shortage of staff. The paper highlighted the fact that the increase in the number of graduates in recent decades did not ensure coverage of the deficit, because only a small part of them remain on the Romanian labor market, the motivation of migration being much higher income, lack of equipment and low level of transfer technological as well as working conditions. The lack of an integrated and realistic national plan for health care reform runs counter to developed countries' measures to attract and hire migrant physicians, and rapid integration facilities for new jobs promoted during the pandemic have kept the migration alternative as a solid alternative for graduates to pursue and progress in their careers abroad.
