In Romania the Curriculum for Family Medicine Residency consists of three years of education, containing the following:

  • 2 stages of family medicine of 3 and 9 months,
  • internal medicine 4 months, pediatrics 4,5 months,
  • surgery 2 months,
  • gynecology 2 months,
  • infectious diseases 2 months,
  • oncology 2 months,
  • health management and epidemiology 1 month,
  • neurology 1 month,
  • psychiatry 1 month and
  • ethics 2 weeks.

The curriculum of family medicine is based on practical stages with tutors in primary care offices in Timisoara. Once a week residents come to the Family Medicine Department of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy ”Victor Babes” Timisoara where they have theoretical courses and since 5 years small group sessions with the didactic stuff of the Family Medicine Department. Most of the time spent in the group sessions is oriented in teaching communication skills, introducing to the problems of the patient and their families and learning through simulated patient problems. Each resident has the opportunity to make 5 consultations and then to be analyzed constructively in group discussions. Every resident prepares 5 cases seen at their every day work in the office, which are presented in group sessions and also prepares 3 papers on topics typical for family medicine (e.g. prevention at different age groups, diagnostic and treatment of common diseases, emergency care, home visits and prescription, etc.). Each year 10 residents had an exchange of experience at the Family Medicine Department at the Medical University of Craiova. During his work with the tutor the family medicine resident gets acquainted with the informatics medical program of the Health Care System. Exercises on selection of drugs and prescribing skills based on a rational selection of drugs are also effectuated.

At the end of the family medicine stages we ask the residents to fill in anonymous questionnaires about their satisfaction with tutors, working groups and with the subject as a whole. We got answers with very good assessment, especially for the group sessions and case presentations.
