Finland has 19 353 physicians of working age

There were 24 502 physicians licensed in Finland in the beginning of 2011. The number of physicians of working age (under 65 years) living in Finland was 19 353. Several physicians from other EU countries obtain a licence even in Finland, but don’t come to work here. Therefore the medical workforce of Finland is smaller than the number of licensed physicians.
