Abstract (EN)
This thesis explores the employment experiences of Syrian refugee doctors in Turkey and analyzes the embodiment of their intersecting refugee and professional identities. The employment model of Syrian doctors at the Migrant Health Centers (MHCs) under the SIHHAT Project is used as a focal point to study their career rebuilding efforts in Turkey. The thesis is a qualitative research on Syrian doctors and its results represent only the sample. This study found that participants were experiencing a combination of the challenges encountered by high-skilled migrants and refugees. Refugee doctors are not homogeneous in their skill levels and their resistance capacities to deskilling are different. Limitations of being a refugee, welfare sector's strict regulations, and host country's standardized skill recognition criteria increased the odds of being deskilled and overqualified in employment for the participants. Thus, heterogeneous policies are needed for integrating Syrian refugee doctors into the Turkish healthcare system. Keywords: High-skilled migration, Deskilling, Syrian refugee doctors, Migrant Health Centers in Turkey, SIHHAT project.
