Migrating Physicians Doctoras & Doctores Con Alas

Migrating Physicians is the autobiographical story of fteen doctors, mostly Mexican, who emigrated to other countries. They write about their experiences in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The book addresses what it means to be a migrant and, more specically, what it's like to migrate as a physician. This book provides valuable insights for those who want to understand what it means to migrate. It is essential reading for those considering leaving their home country and it creates a conversation for those who have already left.
Doctores con Alas became a movement intended to create a space for doctors to feel empowered to ask questions and nd the motivation to migrate, to become a doctor with wings. In 2019, we published the book Doctoras con Alas and in 2021, Doctores con alas. In this new version, we decided to translate stories from both books into English. We want this movement to become global and intergenerational. We have a Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, where we constantly post information about what it means to migrate, and where physicians can nd answers to their questions.
