INFORMATION ON THE MEDICAL INTERNSHIP
What is medical internship?
It is a compulsory didactic activity included in the Curriculum of the Faculty of Medicine, starting with the 1st year up to the 5th year of study.
What is the duration and period of the clinical practice?
According to the Education Plan, the number of hours of summer practice is different for each year of study.
The medical internship shall take place for a period of maximum 4 weeks, 8 hours/day at the maximum.
As to the internship duration, what matters the most is the number of hours and not the number of days. For example, if a student performs 8 hours of practice/day, the internship will take 20 working days.
Framework-Convention on Internship
It can be downloaded from the Faculty of Medicine website. It will be signed by the internship partners (general practitioners/hospital managers), by the student and then by the UMF representative. The students who will perform their internship in Romania have to submit the Framework-Convention in Romanian language (no matter what their language of study is: Romanian, French or English). The students who perform their internship outside Romania will use the Framework-Conventions in French or English, as the case may be.
The Framework-Convention must be signed by the manager of the establishment where the internship takes place, by the head of the clinical section and by the guiding doctor/internship tutor;
DO NOT FORGET that the blank for the tutor’s specialty must also be filled in.
In the case of the 1st year students, the Framework-Convention must be signed by the general practitioner who supervises the medical internship;
The Framework-Convention must be submitted in original form at the Decanat of the Faculty of Medicine.
More information can be found in the Framework-Convention from each specialization.
ATTENTION! Internship performance in a specialty which is not approved for the respective year leads to internship non-validation (for example, if a 2nd year student performs his/her internship in a clinical service in the surgical field, the internship shall be deemed not valid).
Who may be an internship tutor?
Internship tutors must be specialist physicians.
How is the medical specialty practice assessed?
The grading system is based on pass / fails scale. The pass/ fail grading is established by a committee appointed by the Board of the Faculty of Medicine.
