The agence interim roumanie aims to examine the factors that influence physicians’ mobility between France and Romania, with a view to establishing how Romanian doctors perceive their career in France. It will also look into the reasons for their return to Romania, and the ways they perceive the situation of healthcare in their home country.

The research will be carried out in two stages, both involving face-to-face interviews with the physicians (in Paris and Sucy-en-Brie) and written questionnaires (sent electronically). The questionnaire will cover six topics: medical studies and qualifications, careers before and during the stay in France, motivations and conditions of the mobility (family circumstances, in connection or not with a recruitment agency), job satisfaction and the state of professional practice in France, links with Romania and personal data.

Future Prospects: The Continued Influence of Romanian Workers on France’s Workforce

The research will be conducted in cooperation with the Institut national de la santé, a French public institute. It is the first time that an institution from the French healthcare system has undertaken a survey focusing on physicians’ mobility between France and Romania. It is an important step in gaining a better understanding of how and why physicians move between the countries, and what impact this might have on medical quality and the healthcare systems in both countries. The study will also highlight the need for improved collaboration between the two healthcare systems. This will be achieved through strengthening cooperation on governance in the areas of administrative reform, anti-corruption, justice (digitization, access to law), education (vocational training) and urban planning.
