The Clinic of Medical Semiology was founded in 1972, under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Pompiliu Popescu, a student of Prof. Dr. Basil Teodorescu at Colțea Clinical Hospital in Bucharest. In 1990, Prof. Dr. Pompiliu Popescu became the Rector of UMPh Bucharest.

In 1993, Prof. Dr. Dinu Mircea Cruțescu became the head of the Clinic, and in the year 2000, Prof. Dr. Ioan Tiberiu Nanea, who remained the head of the clinic to this day.

After fusing with the Internal Medicine and Cardiology Clinic from Caritas Clinical Hospital in 2002, which was under the leadership of Acad. Prof. Dr. Alexandru Câmpeanu at the time, the Clinic began teaching the 4th year internal medicine course (for the cardiovascular and respiratory modules) in addition to 3rd year medical semiology courses, and starting with 2014, taught the medical semiology course in english as well.

Various medical activities are conducted in the Internal Medicine, Cardiology and Carsiovascular Intense Therapy Sections, such as highly techonolical investigations:

  • bidimensional echography
  • vascular Doppler
  • tissular Doppler
  • Speckle-tracking imagining
  • echocardiography under physical or pharmacological stress
  • tridimensional echocardiography
