Abstract
There is a paucity of qualitative research in the intersection of refugee return studies and the health professional ‘brain drain’ literature. This study uses a multiple life history approach to examine factors influencing the return of 15 Sudanese physicians to their home country. In 2006 the University of Calgary and Samaritan’s Purse Canada implemented a training programme for these 15 refugees from Sudan exiled since 1985 who had trained as physicians in Cuba. We found that barriers to their return were overcome by programme assistance with financial obligations, navigation of Canadian government processes involving citizenship, and English language and medical skills upgrading. The arrival of these individuals in their homeland where they currently practise medicine required the sustained alignment of returnee commitment and motivation to return with significant support. These findings highlight the potential for targeted return assistance programmes in stimulating a reversal of ‘brain drain’ migration.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
