Hello,

Unfortunately there are many of our collegues& also people form the outside that "help" interested young boys& girls to get admission to Romanian's medical schools and charge them with up to 5000$ for their services.

I am a medical student in 4th year in Oradea ( romania ), representative of the students body and member of the faculty's council, and I experienced a lot of trouble with those agents of whom the majority doesn't even have a contract with the University and they have no influence on the registration process at any time!

So please, if you are interested to start medical school in any country over the world, contact the desired University directly and don't pay any money to anyone!!
Registration fee in my Uni is 200€ and the study fees are 1.200€ for EU-citizens and 3.600$ for non-europeans. Not more, not less.

For additional Info on my uni search on www.uoradea.ro (official page!)

Friendly regards,
Jan Vollmer
President AIMSO

The first comment sounds kind of fishy...I would't trust it
But I have a question, maybe you guys know...
I was told that there is an American Medical School in Romania, in Cluj, to be more specific...is it true? If it is...what's the tuition...and how does it work?
I wasn't able to find it online, so I am still wondering...

I am an American health care worker living in Romania. I don't know about medical schools personally but let me tell you about the doctors that these schools here are producing...the drs here want to put you and your children on antibiotics for every little sniffle, they tell the people to not drink or eat cold things because it gives you a sore throat and then of course if you have a sore throat you need an anitibiotic. Babies must have a hat on their heads...even if it is 75 or 80 degrees outside. A cross current such as a window on either side of the room being opened or a fan, will make you sick therefore even people living on the top floor of an apartment in the middle of the summer will not have a fan or cross current even when it reaches 90 degrees in their room. The drs here give injections all the time. Almost all antibiotics are given in injectable form...they believe it is more effective. The hospitals here are a disaster (maybe not in Bucharest and other big cities). Why would I want to go to medical school in a country where I wouldn't even go to the hospital for treatment.
Another thing I know is that I have a friend who is getting her masters degree in nursing here...she doesn't ever go to class...she just pays a bucket load of money to take some tests and waa la she will be a "nurse practitioner" even though she didn't go to any classes. After living here for many years, if I was in America and found out the dr I was seeing went to medical school here I would walk out of the office and find someone else!

wow that's a tragedy..I didn't expect Romanian health-care facilities to be so bad....(considering they're in the EU)

I am a Doctor, I am Romanian BUT I did not graduate in Romania. The perception offered here is completely untrue, unfounded and just more bad talk directed towards a country that is desperately trying to change!
It is true that in the past you could pay your way through SOME programs, I have never, NEVER heard or seen it done with Med school. Especially recently when any bribes, or threat of bribes are reportable and the fines are so severe, even prison sentence, people do not risk it!!!
Romanians are strong believers in naturalistic form of treatments and all though antibiotics are favoured they do initially try natural healing possibilities before seeking medical help. By the time the patients are seen at the doctor's office they usually DO require antibiotics!!
As far as the hat wearing and draft preventions... this is generations of family teachings that still continues today... but not in the doctor's office, the doctors DO in fact try to educate the people on how colds are transmitted. However, after generations of one belief it takes time to open the minds of the general population, don't blame the medical profession for this fact!!!

The truth is the truth, but don't bad mouth anything you don't really have a clue about!

I came across this via an internet search. This is my first post on this forum and I'm glad to have found it. Please excuse me for posting onto an old topic.

I work for an international organisation that places medical students from all around the world into affordable and accredited institutions. We have worked with Romanian institutes since 2001, so I my understanding comes from the experiences of clients, parents of clients and of my own.

The Romanian Education authorities have worked very hard to clear up and investigate cases of corruption and bribery. As always it only takes a few incidents to create an aura of negativity or a bad vibe. It's a case of a few rotten potatoes in a sack of really good ones. These reported incidents took place during 2001-2003 and authorities went as far as investigating the graduates who were involved with certain faculties that came under investigation.

Now in 2008, and after Romania's ascension into the E.U in 2007, the Romanian Education Ministry are a shining example of progress and good leadership. It's more a case of the bureaucrats are now on par with the high precedent set by some of the more established institutes of higher learning in Romania.

Much of our work with clients is about providing valid and qualified information about Romania. It's surprising how little some people know about this amazing culture and country. One of the many parts of my work, that I enjoy, is meeting parents and clients when they arrive in Romania. Most are surprised. Many still have the image of a post communist country rising out of a difficult situation and are delighted to see that it's at the opposite end of the spectrum.

I think we should carefully consider our words when making statements about an ENTIRE nation or system.

As to comments about health care in Romania, well my very biased response is that the state of health care in developed countries and most of the world is far from ideal. The future of health care lies in a marriage between traditional healing and contemporary medicine.

That future lies in the hands of medical students around the world who are prepared to step outside the boundaries and seek at a deeper level the true cause of all illness.

All the best!

Thank you, MS Advisor

Please leave your discussions and criticisms respectful. If you disagree with someone's statement, offer constructive examples of how your own views differ from another members' experience.

These are pure lies. I was in Romania as an exchange student a couple of monnths ago. In fact romanian doctors are much better than americans when it comes to clinicals. There must be some reasons for your dismay! perhaps you were denied to marry or indefinite to stay in the country. There are tousands of romanian physicians now working in E.U countries.No such remarks heard at all. Stop blackmailing romanian medical education. In the U.S medical students are not even allowed to touch a patient how can you be a good physician such? In research field your country is of course second to non, but zero in clinicals.

As a medical student in Romania, allow me to impart some words of wisdom.

For acceptance, dont go through agents, contact the University's International Releations Office on their website.

If you want to study or specialise here, I would recomend you apply to the Universities of Cluj, Bucharest and Timisoara for the best education. After these, look at the Unis of Iasi, Oradea and Constanta. This selection is based on the English programmes.

As pointed out earlier, many Romanian doctors do work abroad and are of a high standard although the proportion of very good doctors is probably not as high as in developed countries as let's not forget that Romania is still deveoping (and at a rapid pace). Finances play a big part in education these days and so it can not be overlooked that the countries in this region or any other poorer region are lagging behind in terms of facilities, teaching standards, research etc and so obviously are not on as high a level. However, the way around this is for the student himself to compensate and study more in his free time and volunteer more at the hospital.

In conclusion I would just like to say, that although Romania does not offer the best education, it does offer an affordable platform from which one can develop into successful doctors in society.
