Apparently a lot from Eastern Europe.

From 2014

At Ivana Stankovic’s anesthesiology ward in the German countryside an hour and a half west of Frankfurt, there’s not a single native German among the youngest rank of doctors.
The 29-year-old resident works alongside other assistant doctors from India, Hungary, Egypt, Ukraine and Slovakia. They’re all part of a wave of young doctors from eastern and southern Europe that are pouring into Germany. Last year brought the third double-digit percentage increase in a row, as the number of foreign doctors practicing in Germany surged 120 percent in the past decade to more than 31,000. These young doctors are filling a critical need in Germany, where a diminishing birthrate has created a doctor shortage just as the country struggles to lure scientists and engineers from abroad.

The number of doctors in France who got their medical degrees outside the country climbed 43 percent between 2008 and 2013 to 17,835, according to the French medical board. In the U.K., which has long welcomed doctors from India and Pakistan, 37 percent of physicians got their initial degrees abroad.
