The purpose of the study is to determine the transition process of healthcare professionals, who had worked in clinics as doctors, nurses and physiotherapists before and then resigned and begun to work as university instructors, to universities, as well as factors affecting these processes. In the study, the instructors 7 of whom work in the department of nursing and health services, 3 in the department of physiotherapy-rehabilitation and 2 in the medical faculty were asked questions prepared via stylistic interview method, which is among qualitative research methods. Content analysis was applied to the data acquired via stylistic interview method. Analyses in the study were carried out using the NVivo 12 ProNitel Data Analysis Software. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that clinics and universities varied according to their working conditions and mobbing statuses; however, there was not much difference in terms of wage. It was found that the reasons of transition to universities arised from factors such as difficult working conditions, workload, personal development; clinics and universities had to cooperate and academicians with clinical experience would be more effective on students.
