When we are talking about the academic environment from Iasi,
we cannot omit one of the oldest institutions of medical education from
Romania, which is University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Gr.T.Popa” Iasi.
What could attract a student to come and mount the stairs of this university?
First it is the tradition, because a university, in order to make
performance, must have strong roots. University of Medicine and
Pharmacy “Gr.T.Popa” Iasi trained many from the founders of the
Romanian medicine, and their spirit still lead this institution’s destiny.
Secondly there are the specializations offered. By its strategy, our university develops curricula with European dimensions, and the certificates obtained in this university are recognized
in all the European Union countries, as well as in many countries outside EU.
Finally it is the humanistic and human coordinates of our university, the hospitality, the
Moldavian kindness, which give a human dimension to the exigency, competence and performance.
I think these are the argument through which our university attract its students and our absolvents remain attached by the institution that trained them.

GRADUATE STUDIES
GENERAL PRESENTATION:
The Dental Medicine Faculty Iasi is an academical institution structured and organized in
accordance with modern principles, at the same time being one of the most prestigious faculties of
medical profile in the country – at a regional, national and even international level. The history of
this faculty has been influenced by numerous personalities of the Romanian medicine. Many of its
graduates are representing at present important names for the Romanian and international
Stomatology. Its honorable past and the dynamic and modern present constitute the premises for a
bright future.
The Dental Medicine Faculty of Iasi was created in 1945 as a department of the Medicine
Faculty under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Nicolae Dutescu, being at that time the first faculty of this
profile from the country. Since 1965 it functions as an independent faculty with 6-years full-time
courses. After 1989 and especially since 1992 our faculty has been going through a continuous
developing process, increasing the number of the staff and of the students and modernizing the
specialized clinics endowing them with a modern material basis in accordance with the exigencies
of the third millennium.
The European integration of the Faculty of Dental Medicine, Iasi, is reflected by its
CIDCDF accreditation (The International Confederation of Deans of Total or Partial French
Expression) – the evaluation being made in September 2008 with positive results. Equally, the
Faculty of Dental Medicine was evaluated in 2001 by ADEE (The European Dental Association for
Education), gaining with this occasion the international recognition of its values and achievements.
Our Dean, Prof. Univ. Dr. Norina Forna, is ADEE Ambassador for Romania and member in the
CIDCDF Committee.
MAIN OBJECTIVES:
A. EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING PLAN FOR:
students registered for the Dental Medicine profile in the long-term cycle of courses (6 years)
according to the European standards;
professions complementary to stomatology:
Dental Medicine Nurses – 3-year full-time specialization;
An important objective of the didactic process is represented by the modification of the
names and the curricula of the disciplines in accordance with the West-European educational
system. This way, if 10 years ago there were 10 disciplines, in 2003 we have reached a number of
51 disciplines as a result of the introduction, for the first time in Romania, of several new
disciplines in accordance with the European standards – and this reorganization activity continues,
having as main objectives the permanent remodeling and adaptation.
ADVANTAGES:
A complex Curricula, integrated,
modular, oriented towards the
students’ needs;
The continuity of the educational and
evaluation process;
The permanent adaptation using the
positive feed-back from the students
part;
The teaching is carried out with small
groups of students which allows a
better training of each student and
also a better supervision;
Providing the premises for the
continuous education;
The Socratic approach of the teaching
and educating process (the student
must find out for himself the correct
answers to the question problems he
is asked by directing him through well
chosen additional questions);
Realistic self-assessment.

Emphasizing the acquisition of clinical competences;
A general and complex image of the
stomatological pathology is created;
Keeping an open relationship between
students and professors is encouraged; Stress is laid upon the developing of the
educational exchange programs;
The total management was initiated
through the involvement of the academic
staff in solving the organizational and
administrative problems of the faculty; The students are being supervised during
their entire theoretical and practical training,
throughout the academic year, and their
knowledge level is being evaluated by final
exams which are carried out in the presence of examination commissions.
The education process lasts
28 weeks with a number of 30 hours
per week; the holydays are programmed
for Christmas and Easter.
Courses start on the 1st of
October and end on the 25th of June.

ADMISSION – CANDIDATES SELECTION
PROCEDURE:
Any person who has graduated high-school and obtained a Graduating Diploma can be
admitted to our faculty. The Romanian high-school graduates are admitted to the Dental Medicine
Faculty of Iasi after a competitive written examination consisting of a written thesis in Biology OR
Organic Chemistry (the same for all specializations – long-term 6-years studies or short-term 3-
years studies). The written theoretical examination is of grid-test type and consists of multiple-
choice questions and the admission examination takes place in the course of July.
The average mark of the four high-school years and the average mark
obtained at the graduation examination are also taken into account in the
calculation of the final average mark for the admission examination.
The admission of the foreign candidates takes place after the admission examination for
the Romanian candidates.
DURATION OF THE STUDIES:
Undergraduate studies: 6 years
Postgraduate studies:
Masters Degree: 1 – 1,5 years (2 or 3 semesters)
Doctoral Studies: 4 years (Doctoral School)
Residency, depending on specialty: 2 - 5 years
Competences: 1 year
Postgraduate specialization: 1 – 6 weeks
EXAMINATION FORMS:
The modular educational system implies the division of the educational process into
modules corresponding to each discipline.
On the whole, throughout the studies period, the
student gathers a number of 360 transferable credits, 60 credits for
each year of study. Promoting from one study-year to another is
permitted only if the exams which were not passed sum up a total
of 15 credits at the most.
The number of credits granted to each discipline may
vary from one academic year to another depending on the
modifications of the analytic schedule, on the importance of the
discipline for the educational process and on the time needed for
the competent knowledge to be stored in an adequate manner.
This kind of system eliminates the
notion of equalization and allows the
conclusion of collaboration agreements
between our faculty and other Dental Medicine
faculties of the country (Bucharest, Timisoara,
Cluj-Napoca, Târgu-Mureş, Craiova,
Constanţa, Oradea).
The exams are meant to confirm the carrying out of the aims and objectives for each course.
Examination forms:
projects, written, oral or practical exams
graduation exam and defence of the diploma paper
The practical exam assesses the practical abilities of the
students and their manual dexterity using:
- The clinical case presentation;
- The student is asked to carry out a technical
procedure, to execute a clinical activity or to make an
interpretation of data.
The valuation of the theoretical knowledge is carried
out through a written paper formulated in one of the
following manners:
- two or three questions of the short essay type;
- ten questions with a short answer;
- MCQ tests in various variants.
In our University we are using more and more the MCQ tests (multiple choice questions) at
the theoretical exam, which takes place simultaneously with all the students within the same year
of study. This sort of examination is totally objective, because the papers are scanned and verified
using the computer, and it is used for all the pre-clinical disciplines in the 1st and 2nd year of study
and for 2 clinical disciplines in the superior years of study.
The compensation between the written paper and the clinical exam is not allowed.
The students are evaluated with
marks between 1 and 10, the
minimal mark for passing being 5.
1 – no answer;
2 – very weak answer;
4 – under satisfying;
5 – over the passing limit;
6 – satisfying;
8 – good answer;
10 – excellent and complete
answer.
All the methods of valuation we use have been chosen in order to allow the students to
obtain a realistic feed-back regarding the educational process, so that they would be able to
discover their deficiencies and to find the most adequate methods to correct them.
Since 2009, within our Faculty we opened Study Programs in English and French, where
students from the entire world can apply.
After finishing the two study-cycles the student is evaluated by the License/Graduation Exam in order to obtain the Doctor in Medicine title (MD).
The Graduation Exam consists in 3 stages: - Theoretical exam - grid test; - Practical exam;
- Diploma Paper.
The DIPLOMA obtained after graduating
from the Dental Medicine Faculty of Iasi is
acknowledged by the Romanian Ministry of
Education as well as by the specialized instances
of other countries: member states of the EU, USA,
Canada (since 2007), Egypt, United Emirates of
Arabia, Germany, Greece, India, Jordan, Iraq,
Iran, Israel, Kuwait, Libanon, Marocco, Oman,
Qatar, Syria, Sudan, Sweden, Tunis, Turkey and

The Students Romanian
Dental Association for Education
(ASDRE) was founded in Iaşi in
2009 under the aegis of the
Romanian Dental Association for
Education (ADRE); its main
objective is to increase the students
real involvement in the original
scientific research domain and the
optimization of educational systems
in dental medicine.
ASDRE joins students from
all the universitary centers from
Romania with a common vision
about the educational environment
and a real and realistic plan of
actions to correlate this at the
European demands.
„There are Romanians who have never been to
Iaşi, although there shouldn’t be any, ‘cause the one
who hasn’t been here cannot cover with
understanding the pages of the most beautiful
chronicles, one cannot fully impregnate with decency
by the spirit of our past more alive and richer than
anywhere else. In his national consciousness there
would be a lack, if he did not see the city that was
and still calls itself today proudly the Capital of
Moldavia”.
Nicolae Iorga
The city of Iaşi does not belong only to the people from Iaşi. It has the rare and hard to be
obtained privilege to be everyone’s. It is not only the metaphysical fortress of the bells, hillocks,
monuments, ineffable twilights, but also, probably, the city with the most numerous museums and
poets per capita from the South-Eastern Europe.
Living in Iaşi itself is a privilege. It is
overwhelming also through the things that now
represent only memories: The Grand Theater
from Copou, The Royal Court, The Mihăileana
Academy.
There is here a well done work
tradition, beyond the fallacious appearances.
By all it has, it represents a real national
library, discreet and expressive part of the
European and universal library .
Immortalized in countless engravings in
various hypostases, the city enters the
conscience of the people by the inspired quill of
the foreign travelers - that is why the never tired
Bandini compares it in 1647 even with a “new
Rome”.
Famous scholars and bishops,
historians and artists, archeologists and writers
have created and breathed in this city during
better or tougher times.
Being one of the oldest and important
settlements in these parts, the Dacian
civilization, followed by the Greek, Roman and then the Byzantine civilizations, conferred the city a
first rang role in the commercial relationships between the Northern and Eastern Europe, on the
one hand, and the Black Sea basin, on the other hand. Against the background of commercial and
artisan’s development the spiritual-Christian life also flourishes with powerful culture centers,
owning an invaluable patrimony (churches, schools, monasteries).
Crossed in turn by Ottoman, Russian or
Austrian troops, ground of the battle for influence,
here, in the surroundings of the Tartars, the City of
Iaşi withstands these events even if often destroyed
by flames or plagues.
The City of Iaşi has also the merit of having
started the 1848 Romanian Revolution, affecting
later on the entire territory inhabited by
Romanians. It was here where the 1859 Union was
settled and the Union Museum and Square evoke
and preserve the burning spirit of the ancestors
eager of national unity and ancient faith
perpetuation.
The Iasi Period of Junimea (Cultural society with Literary Club, printing house, modern
cultural program - 1863 – 1883) is the most prodigious one from the national literature history.
The inter-war period represents another peak moment of the great destinies, buildings and
loves of the city of Iasi, primarily supported by the intellectuals from the Society of Viata
Romaneasca Magazine. Shape diversities, decorations, „art nouveau” and “neo-Romanian” style
merge in a particular, expressive synthesis. At the end of the second World War, the city was
considered by many people an “ended poem”, a “milestone”. Clean city, with old and beautiful
houses where there still can be found quiet streets filled with vegetation, the city of Iaşi is very
similar to the smaller towns in Northern Italy – such as Livorno, and Pisa in particular.
When climbing the Copou Hill, another dimension of the city is revealed: luring and calm
as dusk in May, the city of Iasi is revealed as a city of tile flowers, full moon rays, poetry and
legends that we heard about from our ancestors.
The oldest Botanical Garden in Romania
exhibits reach and valuable collections -
especially the tropical plants, cacti and carnivore
plants green houses which represent special
attractions.
The Copou Park with Eminescu’s Tile
and the Romanian Literature Museum offers a
holy meditation moment, where each year is
organized in June the “Tile Fest” which became a
tradition.
Another recreation area from the city
of Iaşi is Ciric, a necklace of four lakes that
discharge slightly into Bahlui, tenderly
shielded by luxuriant vegetation at whose
shelter, combining classic with modern, the
coffee shops and open bars are hospitably
waiting for their guests.
For the ones interested more in the actual realities, the city of Iaşi has also specific
attractions.
The economic and social life of the city beats in the same rhythm of other great cities of
the country, the city of Iaşi being the second city from the country according to the inhabitants’
number. The region, whose main exponent is, namely the North-Eastern part of the country,
stands for a region with high development potential whose value is really revealed once with
Romania’s integration into the European Union.
Thus, there are still latent and unexploited business opportunities and development
possibilities that can be found here and which could be attractive for the investors.
You also have many choices to spend your free time – in restaurants, clubs and cafes –
elegant, intimate or modern – where you will find quality services, next to the traditional moldavian
