Results include data from most recent survey, for doctors who indicated that their family home location is abroad.
Excluded: graduates who were deceased and those who asked to be non-participants.
*Results are for year 3 for 1999 and 1996 cohorts.
†Results are for year 24 for 1974 cohort.
‡For these cohort years, for women, the number known only to MCRG was 0. A standard error cannot be calculated, and hence the CI cannot be calculated.
