After acquiring his diploma in 1879, he worked in the Lithuanian cities of Ožkabaliai, Vilkaviškis and Aleksotas, and in 1878 moved to Bulgaria working as a doctor and the head of a hospital in Lom Palanka city.
In 1882, Dr. Basanavičius left Bulgaria for Prague and Vienna, where he worked as a doctor and continued advanced studies in medicine.

In 1905, he returned to Lithuania where he edited the influential newspaper, Aušra, and continued to play an important role in the Lithuanian national revival, culminating with the Lithuanian Declaration of Independence in 1918.
Dr. Basanavičius explored Lithuanian history, culture, folklore, and linguistics, writing more than forty works in these fields.
