DEAN’S INTRODUCTION
For more than 140 years, the Medicine Faculty from Cluj-Napoca has been
contributing to the improvement of healthcare system, by training several
generations of valuable doctors who are committed to their profession.
The faculty’s name represents a brand for our city, and the way in which the
name is perceived by the community is the result of years of endeavour and
commitment from our teachers, graduates and students alike.
Our core values, the excellence and the increased care for our patients,
created since the establishment of the Faculty by its founders, have endured
throughout history and the passage of time, being impregnated in our daily
efforts and meanwhile in Faculty’s development strategy.
A modern and dynamic faculty, the medical school from Cluj is differentiating
from other medical schools by an attractive educational offer: four
undergraduate study programmes, eleven master’s programmes, a remarkable
doctoral school and all the specializations for residency; the mission of the
management team being the continuous improvement of teaching quality and
implicitly of the healthcare system. As an additional advantage of our school,
we can mention the fact that medical school from Cluj is between the fewer
institutions throughout the world which can provide an educational
programme in medicine taught in three languages: Romanian, English and
French.
Based on our graduates’ professional mobility, the adjustment of medical
education to the modern requirements of healthcare services becomes a
fundamental goal. In a globalized society, where fierce competition demands
very high standards, physicians’ training must follow two major coordinates:
obtaining professional expertise and necessary practical skills and in parallel,
obtaining higher communication skills, based on a flawless professional ethics.
We all believe in the necessity of a continuous progress, as well as in actual
competition between similar faculties on the modern education market.
Competitive awareness will make the difference. This will represent a
fundamental difference that will allow us to maintain a national leading
position and to aim to the most significant position in Eastern and Central
Europe. Being proud both for our tradition and our present and also
being confident in the future, we kindly invite you to discover us.
Dean,
Professor Anca Dana Buzoianu, MD, PhD

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE
Inaugurated 140 years ago in Cluj within “Franz Josef” University, medical
higher education in Transylvania has acquired a long and valuable tradition.
The Faculty of Medicine in Cluj, with Romanian as teaching language, was
founded in 1919, being part of Upper Dacia University.
Its first dean was Iuliu Haţieganu, the founder of the school of internal
medicine in Transylvania, whose contribution was crucial for the fast
development of the young academic institution as a whole. The school quickly
achieved large international recognition and became famous due to the
activity of highly prestigious professors such as Victor Babeş, Constantin
Levaditi, Iacob Iacobovici, Iuliu Moldovan, Victor Papilian, who were
remembered as “Golden Generation”. The second decade of the period
between World Wars saw important advances made by remarkable
personalities in the field of medicine such as Valeriu Bologa, Leon Daniello, Ion
Manta and Grigore Benetato. The departments of Diagnostic Medicine (1930),
chaired by Ion Goia, and Balneology (1930) – chaired by Marius Sutrza were
created for the first time in Romania. During 1930-1940, Emil Racoviţă who
was in that time professor at Science Faculty from “King Ferdinand” University
in Cluj, taught the Biology-Genetics courses to medical students.
The Faculty passed through a time of great difficulty during the Second World
War when the University was relocated in Sibiu (1940-1945). Despite these
hardships, thanks to the dedication and competence of Iuliu Haţieganu,
University’s Rector (1941-1945), as well as of Victor Papilian, who was Dean of
Medicine (1940-1944), and the enthusiastic support of the academic staff, the
activity continued at high quality standards.
After its return to Cluj and following the education reform in 1948, the Faculty
of Medicine was separated from the University and became the Medical –
Pharmaceutical Institute. During the post-war years, despite hardships that
affected the entire Romanian higher education system, the Faculty of Medicine
continued to give society valuable people such as Octavian Fodor, Aurel Moga,
Aurel Chişu, Aurel Nana, Ion Chiricuţă, Constantin Velluda, Victor Preda, Ion
Baciu, personalities who influenced the Romanian medical education as a
whole.
In its first years, the Faculty assimilated all innovative aspects that
characterized prestigious European medical schools. During the long
communist period, the faculty gained from the opportunity of having leaders
and teachers who knew how to preserve medical school’s original values, so
that the traditions of professional and humanistic performance were not lost.
6
In 1990, the Medical-Pharmaceutical Institute was transformed into Medicine
and Pharmacy University, which had three Faculties: Medicine, Dental
Medicine and Pharmacy. Since 1992, the university has boasted the name of
the distinguished founder of the Romanian medical school in Cluj, Iuliu
Haţieganu. It was during these years of enthusiastic activity that the difficult
process of modernizing the University and the Faculty of Medicine was
initiated, a process that has lately led to European integration and recognition
of medical education from Cluj.

FACULTY STRUCTURE
I. ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
The Senate
The highest governing body of “Iuliu Haţieganu” University of Medicine and
Pharmacy is the Senate. The Chairman of the Senate is the Rector of the
University, elected as a representative and a leader of the entire institution.
The principles that rule the organization and functioning of the university, as
well, as the norms that regulate the activity of the academic community are
established by the University Charter, which is adopted by the Senate. The
Senate, the Administration Council and the Rector take decisions regarding the
main problems of the instructional process. Decisions are based on university
autonomy, on the respect for the academic freedom and on Education
Ministry’s regulations. The Senate consists of academic staff members and
25% student representatives.
Medicine Faculty’s Council
The Council is the highest governing body from the Faculty of Medicine and
consists of 30 academic members and 10 students. The representatives of
international students and resident physicians are invited mandatory to
participate in the Board meetings. The Dean of the Faculty chairs the Council.
The Board of the Council
The Board of the Council is in charge for the implementation of Council’s
decisions. As a rule, the Council meetings are held weekly. The Board of the
Council consists of the Dean, the vice-Deans, the Scientific Secretary, the Head
of Faculty Administration and the student representatives. The Dean is
responsible for the entire activity in the Faculty, and represents the Faculty at
University level and outside it, coordinates its activity and supervises the
implementation of Faculty Council’s decisions.
The activity of the academic management team of the Faculty is supported by
an administrative team of technicians chaired by the Faculty Head Secretary.

FACULTY OF MEDICINE – STUDENT REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
1. The procedure for 1st year student’s registration is the following:
 Students’ registration after passing admission examination is based on the
matriculation decision issued by the Rector. Tuition fee-paying students
will be registered after the payment of tuition fee and after signing the
study agreement.
 In the case of international students admitted on Romanian state
scholarship or on fee paying places (Romanian currency payment),
registration is based on the decision of the Ministry of Education,
Research, Youth and Sports, following the approval granted by the
university management and the signing of Study Agreement.
 In the case of international students on fee paying places (foreign currency
payment), registration is carried out on the basis of the provisional
registration decision issued by the Vice-Rector’s Office, the International
Students Office and the final decision of registration issued by the Ministry
of Education, Research, Youth and Sports, after the payment of tuition fee
and after signing the Agreement of Study.
 The complete application file, endorsed by International Students Office,
will be sent to Dean’s Office only after the approval of Ministry of
Education, Research, Youth and Sports, no later than the 1st of December
for the current academic year.
 The candidates admitted in the first year and not registered within the
period established by the decision of the Administration Council will lose
their right to be enrolled.
 According to Ministry’s decision, a student may be allowed to study at only
one specialty financed by state budget. The student will pay a tuition fee to
attend a second specialty.
2. Each student is enrolled in matriculation register under a unique number,
which is valid for the entire duration of undergraduate studies.
3. in the moment of registration, a personal record is created for each
student, consisting of:
 the original Baccalaureate diploma. Students who pay tuition fees to
attend a second faculty must provide a copy of the Baccalaureate diploma
authenticated by the public notary and a document that proves the fact
that the student has the original Baccalaureate diploma in other university
where the student benefit from a budgeted place.
19
 an authenticated copy of MD or BSc diploma in the case of students who
graduated from a faculty where they had a state subsidized place and who
have to pay the tuition fee in order to attend a second faculty,
 the enrolment form,
 an authenticated copy of the birth certificate,
 the medical tests required by the university,
 the written agreement proving the fact that the student knows and agrees
to respect university’s regulations concerning academic activity and
examinations and of those of the Study Contract,
 four passport-size photographs.
4. The personal record of international students consists of:
 the original Baccalaureate diploma and its translation in an international
language, authenticated and validated by the issuing country’s embassy in
Romania.
 the language test (Romanian, French, English), according to the teaching
language of the section that the student applies for,

to respect university’s regulations concerning academic activity and
examinations and of those of the Study Contract,
 four passport-size photographs.
The registration of international students takes place within maximum 15
days from the beginning of the academic year.
5. In the moment of student’s enrolment at a faculty, the Dean’s Office issues
a "Student Report card" for each student. The student report card will contain
all the marks obtained by the student at examinations or other assessment
forms. It will also include the marks for the failed exams. The examiner has the
responsibility for filling in the marks and signing them. In the following cases transfer, studies interruption or expulsion, the Dean’s Office withdraws the
student report card and the travel pass, where applicable.
6. Enrolment in the second year and in the following years as well as the
signing of the Study Contract implies filling in an application form, within the
first 15 days from the beginning of academic year. Enrolment is based upon
academic results from the previous year and entails the achievement of the
20
minimum number of credits (45 credits minimum) required to complete the
requirement for a year of study.
Students in the supplementary year will be enrolled in the academic study year
that they must repeat after paying all the financial dues for the supplementary
year.
International students
International students are welcomed by both the academic and civic
communities. Apart from medical education taught in Romanian language, our
faculty has been offering, for more than ten years, medical education in
English and French, which attracts more and more students from over 25
countries.
Currently, about 30% from the students enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine are
international students who study in English, in French or in Romanian
language.
International students are enrolled following a selection procedure based on
their record, according to criteria established by the Faculty Council Board.
They do not have an entrance examination.
The candidates must hold a baccalaureate or equivalent diploma and must
obtain confirmation from the Ministry of Education. All the documents
presented must be authenticated.
21
ECTS STUDENTS
The European credit transfer and accumulation system (ECTS) was created to
facilitate student mobility among universities. The European Union encourages
study periods at partner universities and the Bologna and Berlin Declarations
stipulate the need to eliminate obstacles in the way of academic mobility.
Student mobility within Socrates-Erasmus programmes offers students the
possibility to study at another European university for a semester or a whole
academic year. Then, they go back to home university, complete their studies
and obtain a graduation diploma there. In this way, students benefit from
continuity of studies and, at the same time, they have access to other
educational perspective and to a new academic, cultural, social and linguistic
environment.
The main purpose of developing this system was to support student mobility in
enhancing their formation, in gathering the experience of other European
universities in order to obtain full academic recognition for the period they
have spent away from home university.
Full academic recognition means that the study period abroad replaces a
similar period of study at home university without lengthening the duration of
initial studies.
ECTS credits
ECTS credits represents values allocated to course units and practical activities
in order to describe students workload required to complete them. They
reflect the quantity of work each course requires in relation to the total
quantity of work necessary to complete a full academic year of study at the
university, which includes: courses, seminars, practical work and individual
work in the laboratory, in the library or at home, examinations and other
assessment activities.
In the ECTS system, 60 credits represent one year of study (in terms of
workload); on average, 30 credits are allocated for each semester.
The ECTS credits are also allocated to practical training and to graduate thesis
preparation when these activities are part of the regular curriculum at both
home and host institutions.
ECTS credits are allocated to each course and are awarded only to the students
who had completed successfully the courses by passing the examinations or
other types of assessment.
For the acknowledgment of the Socrates-Erasmus mobility, the student must
earn minimum 25 ECTS credits for a period of 4-5 months and minimum 50
22
ECTS credits for a period of 9 months spent in the host institution abroad. The
credits obtained abroad must be obtained for disciplines that the student
would have to study at UMF “Iuliu Haţieganu” Cluj-Napoca during the
academic year that he is enrolled in when he takes the mobility. It is allowed to
acknowledge no more than two exams from higher years (maximum 15 credits
in advance).
The ECTS grading scale
Examination and assessment results are generally expressed in marks. There
are various grading systems in Europe. Therefore, an ECTS grading system was
developed in order to help institutions translate the marks awarded by host
institutions to ECTS students. This procedure also offers other information
regarding the activity of the student, but it does not replace the mark that the
student will get at the home university.
How does it work?
The main ECTS instruments meant to facilitate academic recognition are:
- Information Package
- Learning Agreement
- Transcript of Records
The Information Package is offered by all institutions which use ECTS system
and describes the courses available at the university. It also provides general
information about the institution, its location, student accommodation,
administrative procedures necessary for registration and the academic
calendar. The Package is updated annually.
The Learning Agreement describes the abroad study programme and is
completed by the individual student together with the two academic
institutions involved, before the student arrives at the host institution.
The Transcript of Records details the student’s academic achievements prior
to and after the period of study abroad. It contains the ECTS credits, the mark
awarded according to the local marking scale and the ECTS grading scale. The
combination of local marks and ECTS credits represents quantitatively and
qualitatively the student’s performance at the host institution.
These tools are then used by the institutional and departmental coordinators
appointed by each institution to deal with the administrative and academic
aspects of ECTS. The grade obtained by the student for a certain discipline,
written in the transcript of records, is given by the Faculty academic
coordinator for ECTS, considering the grade obtained by the student in the
host institution, according to the ECTS grading scale.
The use of ECTS ensures the transparency of curricula and students’ academic
achievements, which leads to academic recognition throughout Europe.
23
How can ECTS students obtain mobility?
They should contact their home departmental coordinator and they must
study the Information Package of other institutions in order to choose the best
destination and plan their programme of study abroad.
How is academic recognition ensured?
An ECTS study programme must be approved by both home and host
institutions before the student leaves for the study period abroad. If the
programme of study described in the Learning Agreement is completed
satisfactorily by the student, it is fully recognized by the home university. This
means that the volume of study, measured in terms of numbers of achieved
ECTS credits, will be the equivalent of the same volume of study which would
otherwise have been undertaken at the home university.
How are ECTS credits transferred?
Institutions prepare and transfer transcripts of records for all students who
benefit from ECTS mobilities. A copy of the transcript is given to the student
and checked by both home and host universities, before and after the period
of study abroad.
Are further studies abroad for ECTS students possible?
A student who had benefited from ECTS mobility may choose to remain at the
host university to get a degree there or to move to a third institution. This is
possible only if both institutions involved agree and that the student accepts
the conditions to be fulfilled in order to get a diploma or transfer registration.
By providing a history of the student’s academic achievements, the transcript
of records is the document which helps partner institutions make decisions
regarding the continuation of studies abroad, thus further opening up Europe
to academic mobility in general.
Student evaluation criteria and ECTS grading scale
Courses and study modules are evaluated through oral and written
examinations, practical assignments, demonstrations and other applicable
methods. Students receive information on the evaluation criteria at the
beginning of the study module.

Language of instruction
The language of instruction at the “Iuliu Haţieganu” University of Medicine
and Pharmacy is Romanian.
The Faculty of Medicine at the University offers degree programmes in English
and French within the English and French sections.
Foreign language learning opportunities
All students from our University have the possibility to learn a European
language. The purpose of these courses is to provide our students with
practical skills – reading, writing, listening and speaking. All the facilities at the
Department of Modern Languages are available to all the students and
academic staff of our University.
Scholarships
Over 40% of our students benefit from study or social scholarships, which are
offered by the Ministry of Education.
These scholarships are granted to students with outstanding achievements
and, under certain circumstances, to students with a special social situation.
During the mobility period, students keep their right to scholarship, given in
the national scholarship system.
Students who have benefited from mobility, but could not earn the maximum
number of credits to validate the year, are eligible for the scholarship criteria,
27
and for accommodation in the university campus, according to Senate
Council’s decision from 16.10.2007, and they are exonerated from paying
remaining invalidated credits.
Food and Accommodation
Our University owns a campus which includes 9 hostels where approximately
2700 students are accommodated. Most Romanian students who come from
outside Cluj live in the University hostels. However, international students
prefer rented accommodation.
The University Restaurant, situated in the close proximity of the university
campus, on no. 13 Victor Babeş Street, offers diversified menus and
accommodates 150 students.
There are also many restaurants and fast food places in the city centre and
close to the university premises.
For students who do not live in hostels, the supermarkets and restaurants
located in every district offer convenient food supply as prices are lower than
in most European countries. The cost of food could range between 200-300
EUR a month.
Health
Student Health Centre is located in the centre of the city, close to the
administrative building of the University, offering a wide range of free-ofcharge medical services to the students. The Student Pharmacy offers free
medication on prescription issued by the Students Health Centre.
Sports
The University Sports Club, founded in 1966, has a sports area and a gym
where students can practice sports such as basketball, volleyball, aerobics,
tennis, etc.

CURRICULUM
STUDIES STRUCTURE
The structure of all University’s educational programmes is based on the
academic year system. One academic year consists of two semesters.
The unfolding of education implies:
- Conventional (continuous) studies, with 2 examination sessions, one at
the end of each semester (winter and summer examinations)
- Modular studies, having modules organized in discipline blocks, with four
examination sessions, two for each semester.
The studies include theoretical courses, practical training, seminars and
practical assignments, optional courses, complementary courses and the
graduate degree examination.
The undergraduate studies in medicine aim to familiarize students with the
main applications of the medical field and with their theoretical basis. After
graduation, students need to be able to work independently as experts in the
medical field, as practitioners or as researchers.
Language studies are very important for Romanian students because achieving
a good level of proficiency in a foreign language is essential for students’
professional development, due to the increased mobility of EU citizens and
non EU citizens. International students are required to study Romanian as a
foreign language because starting with the fourth year of studies; practical
training in clinics is conducted in Romanian.
Optional courses
Each year of study has a package of optional courses. Students may choose
one of the optional courses offered; the chosen course then becomes
compulsory. According to the university curriculum, 14 hours/ semester and 2
credits are assigned for each optional course.
Complementary courses
For each year of study there are several complementary courses beside the
compulsory ones. Their role is to help students enhance the knowledge they
acquired during the compulsory study programme.
Choosing such courses, attending them and taking examinations in these
subjects are not compulsory. No credits are allotted to complementary courses
29
The final examination
The final examination at the “Iuliu Haţieganu” University of Medicine and
Pharmacy is the graduate degree examination.
For undergraduate studies, it includes two tests:
1. The specialty test having two components:
- Written test – it is part of the national graduation examination to be taken at
the same time and based on the same bibliography at all medical universities.
- Practical test – it is specific to each university.
2. The presentation of graduation thesis:
The minimum average required to pass the graduate degree examination is 6
(six).
Graduate degree examination sessions: autumn (September) and winter
(January-February).
30
ORGANIZING ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES. EXAMINATIONS. COMPLETING THE
REQUIREMENTS OF A STUDY YEAR
1. Undergraduates’ knowledge is tested through examinations. Students
are assessed with marks from 1 to 10. The minimum mark to pass an
exam is 5 and the highest mark is 10. The final forms of testing are
theoretical written examinations as well as practical examinations. In
case students’ knowledge cannot be tested through practical
examinations due to the specific features of a particular subject
matter, an oral final evaluation will be organized. The examination can
be passed only if students obtain a pass mark (minimum 5) for both
the written and the practical examination. If the students are present
to only one form of examinations, their final mark will be 4. On reexamination, these students would only take the examination which
they had failed.
2. Students are allowed to participate to an examination only if they are
listed in the official students’ record issued by the Dean’s Office. This
official record certifies the students’ status, including the fulfillment of
their financial dues.
3. At the beginning of each academic year, the departments have the
duty to display the requirements for completing the study subject in
order to pass the examinations and the percentage each exam
component holds within the student’s final mark. It is mandatory that
the marks obtained at both theoretical and practical examinations are
part of the student’s final mark.
4. In order to complete the requirements for a study year, must be
obtained at least 45 credit units out of the 60 credits allotted for a
year. A total of 15 credits can be transferred to the following year of
study. In order to fulfill the requirements of a study year, the credits
transferred from the previous years must not exceed 15 ECTS. Within
the respective year, the credit units transferred from a previous year
will not be taken into account. At the same time, students have to pay
a fee for the transferred credits – see “Tuition Fees” Chapter in
Regulations Concerning Student Academic Activity.
5. All missing credits must be obtained within maximum two years;
otherwise, students will be enrolled in a supplementary year.
6. For Medicine study programme, at the end of the third year of study
students have to obtain all 180 credits allocated for the first three
years of study.
7. In an academic year, students can be present to an examination
maximum three times. The curriculum includes four examination
sessions (the winter session, the summer session and two autumn
31
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
32
sessions in the continual system). The third time a student is presented
to the examination must be paid according to “Tuition Fees” Chapter.
Exams are organized only during examination sessions for the
conventional system or at the end of modules for the modular system.
Students must respect the examination dates as scheduled by
departments, in agreement with students’ representatives. The
absence to one scheduled exam is considered to be a failure of the
exam.
Within the modular system, examinations must be taken at the end of
each module, in the weeks allotted for organizing exams. During an
academic year, a student has the right to be present to an exam only
three times. Students are allowed be present to an exam only once
during the October –July period (with their own series), whereas the
second and third examination can only be organized during the
autumn sessions.
In case of departments that are required to organize complex
examinations resulting in one mark, the number of questions included
in the written examination will be proportional to the number of hours
allotted to each subject matter, there will be only one practical
examination scheduled at the end of all teaching activities, and the
final mark will reflect the proportional ratio according to the different
subject matters and will consider an algorithm accepted by all the
departments involved. Students should be informed of this algorithm
in due time.
The dates for written examinations will be scheduled in agreement
with the students’ representatives. Each department must schedule an
examination on at least two different days for a series of students. If
the theoretical examination takes place on the same day for the entire
series of students, the practical examination should not take longer
than three successive days.
Re-examination for a higher mark is allowed only following the
approval of the Faculty Council Board as follows: a maximum of 6 times
during the university studies and not more than twice in one academic
year. The mark obtained after re-examination is final. A three-member
board will re-examine the student applying for re-examination.
The new mark obtained is taken into account in the calculation of the
average mark that ensures social rights to the student. The due fee for
this type of examination is mentioned in the “Tuition Fees” Appendix. A
student can only apply for re-examination for a higher score if the
respective student has passed all examinations.
Fraud within examinations will be punished. The penalties that the
Faculty Council Board may propose are included in Chapter VIII of the
Regulations concerning student academic activity.
* All foreign language programme students, excepting Romanian
citizens, must sit a Romanian language test at the end of the third year.
The test is organized at the Foreign Languages Department of the
Faculty of Medicine within our university.
Foreign students may be enrolled in IVth year only if they pass this test.
The ones that do not pass this test are enrolled in a supplementary
year.
33
REGULATION REGARDING THE EQUIVALENCE OF STUDIES
These regulations concern the courses undertaken at other higher education
medical institutions by students applying to be enrolled in an academic year
other than the 1st or 6th year.
These provisions apply both to international students who request enrollment
and also to Romanian students who apply for transfer or equivalence and who
have partially completed studies at similar institutions in Romania.
Equivalence is not granted for courses taught in the academic year that the
student is enrolling on.
Equivalence is not granted for courses of studies completed more than 6 years
before the application date.
Requirements necessary for the studies to be eligible for equivalence:






The content of the courses (certified by the syllabus) and their duration
(certified by the curriculum) should be at least 70% similar to the
equivalent curriculum of the “Iuliu Haţieganu” University of Medicine and
Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca.
The sum of the transferable credits corresponding to the subjects not
studied but required by the syllabus of the “Iuliu Haţieganu” University of
Medicine and Pharmacy faculties (compensatory examinations) may not
exceed 15 credits (excluding Physical Education and Romanian as a Foreign
Language).
In the case of students who have completed studies at accredited
universities in the EU, equivalence may be also granted to courses taught
in the academic year that the student enrolls in, provided that the
difference between the missing credits and the recognized extra credits
does not exceed 15.
Students must have an official certificate stating the marking system used
by the institution where they studied and its equivalence to the ECTS
system.
Only those subjects in whom the students passed the examination
required by the corresponding institution are eligible for equivalence.
Practical training in a clinic that was not followed by the passing of the
corresponding exam will not be eligible for equivalence.
Applicants seeking equivalence of studies will submit a file folder containing
the following documents:
- a certificate of studies mentioning the marks obtained in examinations
- a curriculum
- a syllabus for each subject proposed for equivalence,
34
- an official statement explaining the marking system used by the institution
where the applicant studied as well as its correspondence to the ECTS system
- an empty folder
- a written application mentioning the subjects for which the applicant is
seeking equivalence
- a request for the equivalence of studies submitted by the Vice-Rector’s Office
for Teaching Activities.
All documents required for equivalence will be submitted at the same time.
Further additions to the application pack will not be accepted.
Only studies completed at higher education medical institutions leading to the
awarding of a physician’s diploma will be eligible for equivalence. Subjects
studied at faculties of biology, veterinary medicine as well as nursing, medical
college or master studies are not eligible.
These Regulations are appended to the Learning Agreement.
The applications files for equivalence and recognition will be submitted to the
Dean’s Office until the 21st of September for the current academic year or,
pending on the approval of the Administration Council, until the deadline for
enrolment of international students as set by the Administration Council
according to the instructions of the Ministry of Education.
The review of the equivalence applications is carried out by a member
assigned by the Faculty Council Board and is approved in the minutes signed by
all the members of the Faculty Council Board.
Applications are reviewed within 15 working days from their receipt by the
Dean’s Office.
The Faculty Council Board has the right to seek and take into consideration the
opinion of the taught course leaders regarding those subjects for which the
duration of the studies and / or the syllabus content do not coincide with those
of the faculties that the applicant wants to enroll in.
The decision of the Faculty Council Board may be contested within 48 hours
after the applicant has been informed on it.
The contested decision is discussed by the contestant and an assessor
designated by the Board.
The decision adopted by the Board following this discussion is final and nonopposable.
35
ALLOCATION OF STUDENTS TO STATE SUBSIDIZED – FEE-PAYING PLACES
Starting with the 2009-2010 academic year, students are allocated state
subsidized places yearly according to their academic achievements.
The allocation is based on regulations available on the university website.
Main criterion: academic achievements.
The following are extracts from the regulations regarding the allocation of
students to state subsidized – fee-paying places.
This methodology applies to all students who enrolled following a written
entrance examination beginning with the 2005-2006 academic year. Students
enrolled on special subsidized places, tuition fee-paying students (foreign or
Romanian currency), students who pay a fee for the equivalence of studies and
students who were enrolled by order of or acceptance letter from the Ministry
of Education, Research, Youth and Sports are not subject to this decision and
do not benefit from its provisions
1. Students’ school performances at the end of the first autumn session of
the previous academic year represent the standard used for the allocation
of students to state-subsidized places.
2. The average grade taken into account for the allocation of students to
state-subsidized places is the arithmetic mean between the weighted
mean of a student’s marks and their arithmetic mean, calculated for the
closing academic year.
3. Failed examinations, regardless of the non-passing marks received, will be
awarded a 0 (zero) for the calculation of both types of means (weighted
mean and arithmetic mean of marks).
4. Summer medical practice is not taken into account for the allocation of
state subsidized places. The total number of credits allotted to the summer
practice is correspondingly subtracted when calculating the weighted
mean.
5. Places are allotted in descending order of students’ average grades.
6. In case more students have the same average grade, the following criteria
are applied in this order:
a. weighted mean of marks
b. in case there are still students with the same grade, the course with
the most credits will take precedence
c. in case there are still students with the same grade, the course with
the next most credits will count (if this course is divided over two
semesters, the arithmetic mean is calculated). This criterion will be
applied until there are no more same average grades. If there are more
courses with the same number of credits, they will be taken into
consideration alphabetically.
36
7. Students’ results are considered unitary, according to year of study and
faculty, without any differences among student series.
8. Students who have all the required credits before the autumn examination
session (students who passed all examinations in the summer session) may
be re-examined for a higher mark in the first autumn examination session.
9. A student may apply for retesting for a higher mark only twice in an
academic year.
10. Students’ ranking for the allocation of state-subsidized places is carried out
by the staff of each Dean’s office, checked by the designated
representatives of the student unions of each faculty and approved, by
signature, by the dean of each faculty.
11. The ranking is announced and posted at the Dean’s office of each faculty in
15 working days after the end of the first autumn examination session.
12. Students may contest the ranking within 2 calendar days after its
announcement.

Histology, anatomy, physiology and pathology are basic sciences that
represent the main stone of medical study, theory and practice.
Histology I - or the first part contains the microscopical and
electronomicroscopical study of tissues, correlated with their evolution
and histophysiology.
Specific objective:


During practical work, students are encouraged to correctly identify the
tissues. The acquired notions represent a proper basis for their future
knowledge regarding pathology.
Great importance is given to individual study of histological sections,
allowing students to gain practical knowledge both regarding the use of
microscopy and the acquisition of a medical judgement, insisting on
differential diagnosis elements between sections, histophysiological,
histopathological and clinical correlations.

The courses and practical activities’ aim is for students to assimilate an
informational core regarding the relationship between workplace and
health status.
The students must gain the practical and theoretical basic knowledge
necessary in recognizing the main occupational diseases, their treatment
and prophylactic measures.
Upon completing the lecture hours, practical and clinical activities, the
students will be able to:
 correctly describe the aetiology of the featured occupational diseases
(OD) and occupationally related diseases (ORD)
 name the compulsory stages for positive diagnose/ prophylactic and
curative treatment for the featured OD’s and ORD’s
 analize functional respiratory exploration reports indicative of
different types of ventilatory dysfunctions
 code pneumoconiotic opacities and other thoracic radiographic
anomalies described whilst interpreting some of the standard chest xrays

 the criteria and the modalities of selecting the specific imaging method
according to the specificity and the severity of the disease
 the modalities of combining the imaging methods in order to reach the
correct diagnosis
 the importance of using the Imaging techniques according to the
symptoms the patient has, and also their value and limitations
 the importance of using the Imaging methods when following chronic
diseases and the detection of acute onset
 the preparation of each patient in order to create the best condition
for the investigation and the necessary consumables in order to
achieve the proposed goal
At the end of Practical work the students should know:
 to identify each imaging procedure used for a specific image
 to identify the anatomical region explored throughout each imaging
modality
 to recognize normal organs
 to recognize the main pathology of the digestive tract and it’s adnexal
glands throughout each type of imaging examination specific to these
organs
 to identify the complications and to formulate a prognosis
 to build-up a clinical diagnosis in which specific images should be
integrated as a part of the clinical exploration

Evaluation
Exam Modality. The Exam will take place at the end of the Imaging Module, as
aknowledged in the up-dated Guidelines regarding the methods of student’s
examination. The Exam is taking place meanwhile with the one of Radiology
discipline, in front of a Comission formed by members of the two disciplines;
Radiology and Medical Imaging.
It consists on two probes, with different weight when regarding the final mark:
1. The theoretical exam which is going to be written and the mark represents
50% from the final mark. This probe is running for 50 minutes and it counts up
to 50 questions with 5 answers, from which just a single one is correct. They
are composed of 30 questions from the Radiology thematic and 20 questions
from the Medical Imaging. The points resulted from the paper is multiplied
with 0,2 and thus the result of the written test will be noted. The written test is
elliminatory, the students that do not achieve the minimum mark of 5,00 do
not promote and can not sustain the Practical exam.
The papers correction/checking is undertaken right after the written exam and
the results are prompted and comunicated to the students in the same day, at
the time that the Comission has previously estabilished.
2. The Practical exam has a written part and an oral one, representing 50%
from the final mark. It is composed from: a. The Interpretation of
Radiological/Medical Imaging cases – written – 30%; b. The
Interpretation/Reading of a Clinical imaging case – oral – 20%.
a. The Interpretation of Radiological/Medical Imaging cases – consists in the
projection of 10 images with pathological issues from the thematic studied, as
follows: 6 images from the thematic of Radiology Discipline and 4 images from
thematic of The Medical Imaging Discipline. This probe is written and the
170
students will answer on a (pre)printed sheet at the specific questions
addressed to each Image. The duration of this probe is going to take 15
minutes. The correct answer to each of the Images projected is going to obtain
1 point, the sum of the points those obtained will be the mark for this probe.
According to the student’s total number, they will be organised in 2 or 3
groups that will receive, each of them, distinct sets of images for the
interpretation. To each group there will be presented at the end of the probe
the correct answers.
b. The Clinical Case – will be performed in front of a comission composed of
two members, one member of the Radiology Discipline and the other one from
the Medical Imaging Discipline. There will be organised 2 comissions, each of
them examining half of the Serie of students. The probe in itself will consist in
choosing/extracting a number of a case that is going to be displayed for
interpretation on the monitor of a computer. The case is going to be aleatory
from the Radiology/Medical Imaging topic that has been studied. The
Comission will discuss with the student on the specific issues. The Comission is
reserving the right to address questions from the rest of the thematic
presented at the Courses.
Acording to the Guidelines, the exam is promovated if the mark at the Practical
probe (the media of the maks achieved at the probes 2.a. and 2.b.) is equal or
bigger than 5,00.
The final grade of the Exam is going to be calculated by summarising the marks
obtained at the two probes (theoretical and practical).
In the case of non-promoting the theoretical probe, the student should
repeate the hole examination. In the case of non-promoting just the Practical
exam, the student will reconsider/repeate only this probe in its complete
formula.

General goals:

There are three general objectives in teaching clinical Endocrinology: The
informational core which involves transmitting knowledge of clinical and
paraclinical endocrinology. Moreover, acquiring certain clinical abilities
specific to the field is also needed as they are to be used while examining
patients, formulating a diagnostic, establishing a target for paraclinical
explorations or while elaborating a therapeutical plan after a thorough
examination of the patient. Beside these, students in Medicine have to
develop competences in clinical diagnostic and monitoring of the chronic
treatment of endocrine diseases and have to be able to put their acquired
knowledge into practice.



Basic knowledges of ENT pathology: rhinology, pharyngology, laryngology,
otology .
Running into good theoretical and practical issues in therapeutical and
diagnosis management of different ENT pathologies.
Since the great majority of medical students will not become
otolaryngologists, it becomes much more important to them to
understand how to recognize potentially dangerous problems that should
be referred to the ENT specialist, as well as how to manage uncomplicated
cases that can be taken care of at the primary care level.


Knowing the theoretical principles in anatomy, examination and main
pathologies of each organ
Development of practical skills in performing the clinical examination of
the ENT patient

General objectives:




At the beginning of the third millennium the infectious diseases still
represent, worldwide, major causes of morbidity and mortality. The study
and understanding of the infectious diseases is a necessity regarding
epidemiological, etiology-pathogenesis and clinical aspects but also
concerning the methods of diagnostic and the therapeutic strategies
(etiologic, pathogenic and symptomatic).
Importance of Infectious Diseases in condition of the new and reemerging pathogens and bioterrorism threat.
Difficulties in establishing the therapeutic attitude due to high resistance
to chemotherapy of many pathogens (bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic).
Knowledge that many causes of immunosuppression are contributing
factor for emergence of infectious diseases with serious development.

Under the current conditions clinical presentation and outcome of many
infectious diseases is not typical being influenced by changes in resistance
and reactivity of host organism, pathogenicity and chemotherapeutic
sensitivity of microorganisms. As a result, epidemiological and clinical
diagnosis requires corroboration with laboratory examinations
241

(microbiological, serological, molecular), and a complex differential
diagnosis of many other diseases (infectious or noninfectious)must be
done.
Establishing therapeutic strategy (etiologic, pathogenic, symptomatic)
takes into account the changes in sensitivity to chemotherapy and clinical
forms of disease, often severe, and possible complications that may
influence the clinical course and prognosis.

B. ELECTIVE COURSES
METHODOLOGY REGARDING THE ELECTIVE COURSES
AT THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE
Academic year 2012-2013
The present Methodology has been issued for organising the choice of elective
courses for the students from the Faculty of Medicine, “Iuliu Hațieganu”
University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca.
1. Until the March, all disciplines which are willing to teach elective courses
ought to have transmitted, to the Dean’s Office from the Faculty of
Medicine the following information concerning the proposal for the
elective course:
- Course title
- Course coordinator
- Brief description of the course (course contents; evaluation)
- Course location and timetable
2. After the approval of the proposed elective courses in Council Meeting of
the Medical Faculty held in March, they are made public for the students:
a) on the University site www.umfcluj.ro, News section for Students
b) on the News Board of the Faculty of Medicine
c) on the mail group for students from the Faculty of General
Medicine.
3. Based on the available information, each student from the Faculty of
Medicine must choose the desired elective course and enrol during the
period established and announced by the Faculty Board.
4. The enrolment can be done online on the University website (section News for students), depending on the number of places available (rule
„first come-first served”)
5. Each student will choose 3 elective courses, in order of preference, so that
if the first choice is not available, there would be other alternatives.
6. Once filled in and signed, the application represents the student’s
obligation to attend that certain elective course.
7. For organising a free-tax course the minimum number of participant
students is 60. The maximum number of participant students for an
elective course is 80.
8. Elective courses having a number of 15 – 60 enrolled students are going to
be organised with payment (fee - 20 RON).
271
9. In the case that the first option of the student cannot be validated (no
more places left or not enough students enrolled to keep the course), the
student will be enrolled at one of the other chosen courses, in the order
of choice.
10. After the enrolment deadline, the students who did not enrol for elective
courses are going to be enrolled only for the elective courses that have
unoccupied places left.
11. Students willing to attend more than one elective course are allowed to
do this depending on places left after the end of enrolment period and
the distribution of un-enrolled students.
12. The final list of students for elective courses is going to be communicated
to the teachers and students until the end of June 2015.
13. For first year students, of academic year 2015-2016, the enrolment for
elective courses is going to take place in October 2015.
14. After approval, the present Methodology is going to be made public for
the students from the Faculty of Medicine:
a) on the University site www.umfcluj.ro, News section for Students
b) on the News Board of the Faculty of Medicine;
c) on the mail group for students from the Faculty of General
Medicine.
