International databases and websites including Pubmed and Google scholar were searched to identify relevant reports from 1990 to 2011. Narrative synthesis was used to summarize the study results categorized by regulatory mechanisms, targeted groups, country settings and outcomes. Results
C omplete prohibition, dual practice allowed with restrictions, and allowed without restrictions were regulatory mechanisms applied by different countries with different income levels. These mechanisms have positive and negative outcomes. Greece, Italy, UK, Spain, Australia and the US are high income countries allow dual practice with restrictions. Furthermore, some low income countries such as Kenya and Zimbabwe use licensure restrictions; and others such as Egypt and Bangladesh allow dual practice without restrictions. Conclusion
Dual practice with restrictions in both public and private sectors is the most common regulatory mechanism. In addition to well policymaking, applying analytical perspectives and evaluation of different mechanisms in different settings, taking considerations to the executive issues and preparing infrastructures and prerequisites is so vital for implementing the regulatory mechanisms.Keywords:
