Objective Migration of healthcare workers could result in shortage of human resources and rising inequalities in service provision in resource poor countries. The aim of this review was to determine the factors influencing the migration decisions of medical and dental graduates migrating from lowand middle-income countries as well as introducing a practical model for health professional’s migration. Methods Google Scholar and PubMed were searched together with relevant journals for English studies from January 2005 to January 2020. The original studies which evaluated the motivational factors of dental and medical graduates migrating from lowor middle-income countries were included. The migration model was developed by investigating the factors and frameworks of selected studies. Results Twenty-five articles met the inclusion criteria. Push and pull theory was the most popular way to describe the driving factors of migration. These factors were classified into three: (i) macro-, (ii) meso-, and (iii) micro-level with eight key domains. Poor income, unfavorable socioeconomic situation, political instability, lack of professional and educational opportunities together with family and personal concerns are found as strong common reasons perpetuating migration. Conclusion Despite the fact that health workers migrate for different reasons, they follow a same route for decision to stay or leave their home countries. Unfulfillment of expectations in mother land in addition to media reconstructed reality of life in foreign land can develop a positive attitude for better quality of life improvement after migration. Once individuals could overpass their national identity and barriers of migration, the final decision toward migration would be more feasible.
