This article addresses the relationship between highly skilled international mobility and knowledge by focussing on knowledge transfer work. Empirically, this study is based on interviews of professionals in the Swedish medical field who returned to Sweden after a period of work in other countries. The medical field harbours many transnationally valid competences and standardised lines of work, but even in this field, knowledge transfer is a process requiring effort, skills, negotiation, translation and adjustment to the specific organisational and cultural contexts. The studied professionals’ knowledge transfer work showed a spectrum, ranging from smooth, almost friction-free transfers to the ones where much translation and transformation was required, depending on the context and the professional’s status in the workplace. The professionals also developed and made use of knowledge transfer skills, such as the ability to observe, analyse and adjust to cultural differences between workplaces, healthcare systems or academic systems, as well as the ability to translate knowledge to make it relevant and viable in the specific context.

知识转移工作：以国际流动医疗专业人员为例

本文通过专注于知识转移工作来解决高技能的国际流动性与知识之间的关系。根据经验，这项研究是基于对瑞典医学领域专业人士的采访，这些专业人士在其他国家工作了一段时间后返回瑞典。医学领域具有许多跨国有效的能力和标准化的工作范围，但是即使在该领域，知识转移也是一个需要付出努力，技能，谈判，翻译和适应特定组织和文化背景的过程。所研究的专业人员的知识转移工作显示出一个范围，从平稳，几乎无摩擦的转移到需要大量翻译和转换的转移，这取决于上下文和专业人员在工作场所中的地位。
