title: Past and present in Romanian pathophysiology teaching: Iaşi experience.
abstract: Discipline of Pathophysiology is now a division of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Ia,si and it is included as a separate discipline for the third-year undergraduate students. Changes have occurred in the curricula of different disciplines that have progressively weakened the position of pathophysiology. The medical system is the most affected because the basic course in pathophysiology for undergraduate students is not completely satisfactory. A recent questionnaire is illustrative in the concern of pathophysiology both as a science and as a medical discipline. A coherent educational system regarding pathophysiology should include a basic course in pathophysiology, lectures and stages of clinical pathophysiology and postgraduate courses in different medical domains as well, all to take place in an integrated department of experimental and clinical pathophysiology.
