Fewer junior doctors to leave Hungary



Of the 700 medical students graduating from universities this summer, 80% will start their residency in Hungary while 11% have opted to study for a doctorate, Hungarian Residents Association chairman Magor Papp said.

In June 42% of these junior doctors were reportedly considering residencies abroad, but many changed their minds as a result of the new government abolishing its predecessor’s regulation that medicine graduates must remain at the institute in which they carried out their vocational training for at least four years.

The new government also allows residents to defer their training, for instance if they have had children.
