On behalf of Henrice Altink, I'm cross-posting this query from
H-Caribbean to the history of medicine community. Please copy replies

I don't know the context of Henrice's question, but the more general
issue of how often and which medical students return to practice at
home after study in other countries is certainly an important one for
healthcare, historically and today.

Subject: Jamaican doctors before WWII?
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011
From: Henrice Altink <<mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask]>
During the interwar years, many Jamaicans studied medicine at universities
abroad (e.g. Edinburgh, Howard and McGIll). Some of them came back and
practised in Jamaica. Does anybody know what percentage of doctors in the
island was locally-born on the eve of the Second World War?
