Studenţi medicinişti din Făgăraş până în anul 1920

  • Subiect: Medical students from Făgăraş until 1920 Medical studies have always taken up a distinct and privileged place in higher education systems in Europe. Medicine was studied in the fourth core faculty of medieval universities. In modern times, medicine had the most to gain from all fields of study. Fundamental discoveries in the medical sphere have radically changed its image and its social importance. At the same time, the modern state paid special attention to this field, through the new imperatives related to public hygiene, the eradication of various infectious diseases, the raising of the standard of living, healthcare as a state policy etc. From the end of the 17th century to the end of the First World War, 42 young people from Făgăraş studied medicine in seven European universities: Budapest, Cluj, Frankfurt/Oder, Franeker, Graz, Leiden and Vienna. Most students (34 out of 42) did their studies in one city: Cluj - 15, Vienna - 11, Pest - 7 and Graz - 1. The other eight students went through two academic centers: Cluj/(Buda)Pest - 4, Vienna/Cluj, Vienna/Frankfurt, Vienna/Pest, Franeker/Leiden - one. Most trained for internal medicine, but there are cases when they focused on surgery, military or veterinary medicine. The analysis of university syllabi highlights the fact that there was no medical tradition in the students' families, the occupations of parents being foreign to this field. Young people began their studies at ages between 17 and 35, most of them at the usual age of 18-19. Registers, especially those in Cluj, highlight interruptions of studies for various reasons: academic peregrination, limited financial resources or war. Sometimes students received scholarships from the state or foundations that helped them complete their studies. The exams were very complex and rigorous, from all medical branches. The completion of studies and the interest for the training are evidenced by the large number of those who obtained their MD. 35% of graduates (15 out of 42) acquired this academic degree. Graduates' efforts were fruitful not only in university titles but also in notable careers. From simple country doctors and doctors on the front of the First World War to scholars and university professors at home or in the world, they proved to be loyal servants of Hippocrates and good people in all circumstances.
