DEANS 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 facultys 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 Facultys 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 masters 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.

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 Haieganu, 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 Babe, 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 Medical Symptomatology
(1930), chaired by Ion Goia, and Balneology (1930) chaired by Marius Sturza
were created for the first time in Romania. During 1930-1940, Emil Racovi
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 Haieganu,
Universitys 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 Chiu, Aurel Nana, Ion Chiricu, 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 schools 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, Stomatology
and Pharmacy. Since 1992, the university has boasted the name of the
distinguished founder of the Romanian medical school in Cluj, Iuliu Haieganu.
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 Haieganu 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
Ministrys regulations. The Senate consists of academic staff members and
25% student representatives.
Medicine Facultys 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 Councils
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 Councils 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.
The academic governing body of the Iuliu Haieganu University and of the
Faculty of Medicine was elected in January 2011 for a 4-year period of time
and consists of the following academics:

FACULTY OF MEDICINE STUDENT REGISTRATION

PROCEDURES
1. The procedure for 1st year students 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-Rectors 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 Deans 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 Ministrys 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
20
that the student has the original Baccalaureate diploma in other university
where the student benefit from a budgeted place.
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 universitys 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 countrys embassy in
Romania.
the language test (Romanian, French, English), according to the teaching
language of the section that the student applies for,
a photocopy of their passport,
an authenticated copy of their birth certificate,
the decision of the Ministry of Education mentioning status: scholarship
holder, tuition-fee paying student Romanian currency, foreign currency
the enrolment form,
the medical tests required by the university,
the written agreement proving the fact that the student knows and agrees
to respect universitys 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 students enrolment at a faculty, the Deans 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 Deans 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
21
academic results from the previous year and entails the achievement of the
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.
22
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
23
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 Haieganu 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 students 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 students 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,
write 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.
24
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 students 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.

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
27
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,
and for accommodation in the university campus, according to Senate
Councils decision from 16.10.2007, and they are exonerated from paying
remaining unvalidated 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 Babe 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 Universitys 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 Haieganu 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 Deans Office. This
official record certifies the students status, including the fulfilment 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 students final mark. It is mandatory that
the marks obtained at both theoretical and practical examinations are
part of the students 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 fulfil the requirements of a study year, the credits
transferred from the previous year 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 possibility to be present to an exam
only three times. Students are allowed be present to an exam only
twice during the October July period (with their own series or another
series that is doing the respective module), whereas the 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 concern 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 enrolment
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 Haieganu 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 Haieganu 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 enrols 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-Rectors 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 physicians 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
Deans 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
Deans 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 enrol 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 FEEPAYING 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 students 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
36
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
courses with the same number of credits, they will be taken into
consideration alphabetically.
Students results are considered unitary, according to year of study and
faculty, without any differences among student series.
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.
A student may apply for retesting for a higher mark only twice in an
academic year.
Students ranking for the allocation of state-subsidized places is carried out
by the staff of each Deans office, checked by the designated
representatives of the student unions of each faculty and approved, by
signature, by the dean of each faculty.
The ranking is announced and posted at the Deans office of each faculty in
15 working days after the end of the first autumn examination session.
Students may contest the ranking within 2 calendar days after its
announcement.

General objectives:
To acquire general notions of pathology - macroscopic and microscopic

features of basic pathological processes (fluid derangements, metabolic
disorders, inflammation, neoplasia) and to correlate them with data
presented in other specialties, referring to the etiology, pathogenesis,
diagnosis, evolution, and complications of the diseases.
At the end of the semester, students must be able to:
use specific terms of pathology
recognize macroscopic lesions: on pictures, surgical specimens, autopsic
cases
recognize microscopic lesions: on pictures, at the microscope
establish correlations between the clinical features and the pathologic
modifications of the diseases

Preliminary conditions:
Histology
General objectives:
Based on the material studied in the first semester, students will acquire
notions of pathological changes from the main diseases of organ systems
and their integration in the context of knowledge acquired in other
specialties (physiopathlogy, medical and surgical semiology, pharmacology,
etc.).
At the end of the semester, students must be able to:
use specific terms of pathology
recognize macroscopic lesions: on pictures, surgical specimens, autopsic
cases
recognize microscopic lesions: on pictures, at the microscope
establish correlations between the clinical features and the pathologic
modifications of the diseases
interpret a histopathological report: to recognize a specific pathologic
entity and to formulate the main differential diagnoses.

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.
Specific goals:
186
Knowing the principles in medical assisstance of patients with

endocrine disorders: diagnosis and treatment of endocrinopathies.
Running into good clinical practice of hormone replacement therapy in
pituitary, thyroid, adrenal and gonadal diseases.

Pre-requisites:
Knowledge of internal medicine, neurology, microbiology, clinical
pharmacology
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
(microbiological, serological, molecular), and a complex differential
233
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 2014-2015
The present Methodology has been issued for organising the selection of
elective courses for Medicine Facultys students from Iuliu Haieganu
University, Cluj-Napoca.
1. Each year, until the beginning of March, all departments which are willing
to teach elective courses have to transmit to Deans Office 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 elective courses approval in Medical Facultys Council from March,
they are communicated to the students:
a) On Universitys site www.umfcluj.ro, at section News for Students
b) On Medicine Facultys News Advertisement
c) On Medicines students email discussion groups.
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 students
obligation to attend certain elective courses.
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 smaller number of students, between 15 and 60
enrolled students are going to be organised with payment (fee - 20 RON).
263
9. In the case that the first option of the student cannot be validated (no
more places left or not enough students enrolled), the student will be
enrolled at the other chosen courses, in the order of his/her choice.
10. After the enrolment deadline, the students who were not admitted for
elective courses, are going to be enrolled only for the elective courses that
have unoccupied places left.
11. Students who want to attend more than one elective course are allowed
to do this, depending on unoccupied places left at the end of enrolment
period and after the distribution of un-enrolled students.
12. The final list of students for elective courses is going to be communicated
to teachers and students until the end of June 2014.
13. For students enrolled in the first year of study in academic year 20142015, the enrolment for elective courses is going to take place in October
2014.
14. After approval, the present Methodology is going to be communicated to
Medicine Facultys students :
a) On Universitys site www.umfcluj.ro, at section News for Students
b) On Medicine Facultys News Advertisement
c) On Medicines students email discussion groups.
