RTL Today - Alem study: One-third of Luxembourgish medical students do not return home after graduation

Author: Céline Spithoven (Télé), Tim Morizet (Radio)|Update: 28.12.2020 10:20 © RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg A study by the Association of Luxembourg Medical Students (Alem) has found that a third of medical students based in Luxembourg, but studying abroad, do not return to the Grand Duchy to find work. With 2.9 doctors per 10,000 inhabitants, Luxembourg has been dealing with a shortage in healthcare staff for many years, a challenge the pandemic has once again shone a spotlight on. Of 1,500 specialists in total, around half are nearing retirement age. The Association of Luxembourg Medical Students (Alem) has registered the responses of 230 survey participants. The motivation to return to the country has seen a steady decline as students progress through their medical studies. Two years into their education 95% say they would return home. In the final two years only 70-75% would make that same choice.
