Between the two institutions the cooperation in the field of medicine will be our subject of study. Given the territorial proximity of the two institutions and the growing interest in the prívate medical sector in this area, we can talk about a strong cross-border medical pole, Oradea-Debrecen at the border between Romania and Hungary.

Clujul Medical, 2016
After 1948 the Romanian higher education entered a period of important developments, controlled by the communist regime, which meant thathigher educationinstitutions autonomy was severely obstructed, while political purges affected the teaching staff and students alike. Nevertheless, new types of higher education were introduced and new institutions of higher education and specializations were established. The number of students and graduates increased accordingly. Also, after 1975, the number of foreign students in Romanian higher education registered a significant increase mainly in medicine and pharmacy . More than half of foreign students attracted by the Romanian higher education were studying medicine and pharmacy. Many interesting aspects of this situation are presented in this article: reasons for this attraction, statistics of total number of students, number of freshmen, number of graduates and the contribution of each institution of medicine and pharmacy higher education in attracting the foreign students.
Postgraduate Medical Education System in Romania
Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2015
After the enlargement of European Community, the access to work in different European Union countries became easier. An increasing number of postgraduate trainees (residents) chose to leave their country for better financial conditions, working facilities, and research opportunities. The aim is to identify those factors that describe important characteristics of the Romanian postgraduate medical training from the residents' perspective. The study was conducted in two samples of Romanian trainees: psychiatric and nonpsychiatric residents from university hospitals. Residents were asked to fill in a questionnaire regarding their satisfaction about the postgraduate medical training. Also, they were asked to express preferences about their future medical perspectives there are no significant differences between psychiatric and non-psychiatric trainees. Most residents rate an average financial situation. Although their satisfaction regarding hospital practice is moderate, they rate a good relationship with the attending physicians. Because the training takes place in university hospitals, residents have access to conferences, lectures and case presentation. Very few have access to PhD opportunities, to sponsored pharmacologic studies, or to psychotherapy. The majority of the trainees would prefer to remain in their country, close to their families. Residents rate the medical training system as satisfying, but because of limited working opportunities after finishing residency, they consider living the country.

Romania has experienced in the last two decades a high emigration of the healthcare workforce, especially after joining the European Union.
