A dermatologist's peek at emigration and professionalism: Looking at the stream from the inside.

Much can be read on migration of health workers, on the impact of immigrations on the receiving countries, and on professional insertion in new labor markets. The terms to search are many: "reinsertion," "professionalism," "migration flow," "readjustment," and "immigrant qualified professionals." When asked to narrow it down to personal experience, one needs to reduce many of this complex and faceless processes to a more intimate view. Other terms come into mind: "self-esteem," "resilience," "nostalgia," "renaissance," "mimesis," and "catharsis." A special focus is placed on the Venezuelan diaspora, as a recent global migration group who has left the country, leaving behind a scarce 60% task force of formally trained physicians, a trend that continues today.
