University accreditation does not apply to courses from this institution

Description

25 years ago, a group of dedicated doctors transformed the GP medical qualification in Romania into a “clinical specialty" and achieved the “independent” status. This meant the start of a three year GP residency program. Later, the GP became FD (Family Doctor). Six years of general medical education (university) and three years of specialized training (residency in family medicine) have been since needed to become a family medicine specialist.
