The Discipline “Marketing, Medical Technology and Devices” has formed in 2007, at the initiative of Professor Florian Popa, PhD, Rector of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy ”Carol Davila”, Bucharest, between 2004-2012.

In 2013, it fused with the Discipline of “Medical Informatics and Biostatistics”, forming the Discipline of „Marketing and Medical Technology, Medical Informatics and Biostatistics”. In the academic year 2015-2016 the discipline separated in the two initial disciplines.

The Discipline "Marketing, Technology and Medical Devices" offers the students and its academic staff an amphitheater of 76 seats and a seminar room of 25 seats, equipped with projectors, mobile screens, a magnetic board and markers as well as its own library with specialty books.

Depending on the schedules of the tutors and coordinators of the course, students can use this space to work during the academic year group project or study materials from the library. Also, the discipline has a wireless Internet network.

The final grade is calculated as follows:

  • Written examination (examination session): 60%;
  • Project: 20%;
  • Practical examination : 20%

The written exam contains 2 mini-essays subjects and 3 simple subjects, evaluated by the following score:

  • Subject 1(mini-essay): 3 points
  • Subject 2 (mini-essay): 3 points
  • Subject 3: 1 point
  • Subject 4: 1 point
  • Subject 5: 1 point
  • 1 guaranteed point if the correct identification data of the student are provided. (Name, Surname, Year, Series, Group)

A distribution of the topics by category and subcategory will be timely distributed to the heads of the series.

The project group will be made at group level. The project aims at implementing policies and marketing strategies in opening a medical practice in a specialty that will be drawn by lot during the course of marketing. Each group will be assigned a mentor. A summary of the project will timely be offered to each group by the assigned mentor. In addition, the project will help the group socialize with each other, and, especially, will represent their first contact with the real post-graduate life.

The practical exam consists in the presentation of the project. Specifically, we will evaluate the electronic version of the presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint or Prezi and the synthesizing style, originality and presentation of alternative materials.

  • For the 1st Year, the discipline offers the elective subject "Technology and Medical Devices"
  • For the 2nd Year, the discipline offers the elective subject "Medical Equipment and Devices"
