自从尼日利亚和加纳在20世纪60年代开始医学教育以来，西非受过培训的医生一直从次大陆移民到富裕国家，主要是美国和英国。我们访问了西非的六所医学院，调查移徙的规模、原因和后果。我们对教师、管理人员（院长和教务长）进行了采访和焦点小组讨论。加纳和尼日利亚六所医学院的学生和研究生住院医师。除了以前文献中记载的迁移推动和拉动因素外，我们了解到现在有一个发达的医疗迁移文化。这种文化根深蒂固，不仅不能阻止医疗移民，而且实际上还鼓励医疗移民。医学院的教员是移民（以及随后的返回）好处的榜样。他们为成功移民的学生感到骄傲。(c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
West African-trained physicians have been migrating from the sub-continent to rich countries, primarily the US and the UK, since medical education began in Nigeria and Ghana in the 1960s, In 2003. we visited six medical schools in West Africa to investigate the magnitude, causes and consequences of the migration. We conducted interviews and focus groups with faculty, administrators (deans and provosts). students and post-graduate residents in six medical schools in Ghana and Nigeria. In addition to the migration push and pull factors documented in previous literature, we learned that there is now a well-developed culture of medical migration. This Culture is firmly rooted and does not simply fail to discourage medical migration but actually encourages it. Medical school faculty are role models for the benefits of migration (and Subsequent return). and they are proud of their Students Who successfully emigrate. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
