Opinions on Medical Education, Options and Career Choices of 4th Year Medical Students

The University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Tîrgu Mureş is the only medical university in Romania that offers Hungarian-language education. We aimed to find out the opinions of 4th year Romanian and Hungarian-language students regarding education in our University, their learning habits, options, and future career choices. We found significant differences between the two student groups both in terms of learning habits and career choices. One of our most important finding was that the majority of Hungarian students considered that university education does not properly prepare them for the practice of medicine – a fact that should be given further consideration.
