9. Correlations between the contents of the discipline and the expectations of the
epistemic community, of professional associations and of employers in the field
Knowledge and skills are established as didactical objects and specified as such in revised annual analytical
programs. After the analysis within this discipline, a curriculum bureau framework is discussed and
approved in the sense of harmonization with other disciplines. Throughout this process is systematically
assessed as directly as possible the correspondence between content and the expectations of the academic
community, community representatives, professional associations and employers. As a primary goal, this
discipline aims to offer students the optimal premises for the next years of study in the medical degree
program, in the perspective of successful employment immediately after graduation, in postgraduate
programs in Romania and other countries.
