Note: A large number of medical graduates are international students in some countries (e.g. Romania, Ireland, Bulgaria, the Slovak Republic, the Czech Republic and Hungary).
About 15% of graduates in Israel and 5% in New Zealand were international students in 2021, but data excludes international students, resulting in an under-estimation.
