Establishment of the Faculty of Midwifery and Nursing

The Faculty of Midwifery and Nursing was established in 2005, through Government Decision no. 916/2005, which regulated the structures of accredited or provisionally authorized higher education institutions and the specializations within university-level studies. It became the fourth faculty of the "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, alongside the traditional Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy.

Accreditations

Currently, the Faculty of Midwifery and Nursing has four accredited specializations: Midwifery (4 years), General Nursing (4 years), Balneophysiokinetotherapy and Rehabilitation (3 years), and Dental Technology (3 years). Additionally, five specializations are provisionally authorized: Pharmacy Assistance, Dental Assistance, Audiology and Hearing Aid Technology, Clinical Laboratory, and Radiology and Imaging (each 3 years). All specializations within the Faculty of Midwifery and Nursing are offered as full-time programs, and graduates obtain a bachelor's degree upon completing the courses and passing the licensure examination.

It is also important to mention that the professions of midwife and general nurse (with four years of study) are regulated at the European Union level, benefiting from automatic recognition of the bachelor's degree obtained at UMF "Carol Davila" in all EU member states, in accordance with the provisions of European Directive 2005/36/EC.

Since its establishment, the Faculty of Midwifery and Nursing has enrolled students annually through an admission competition. Considering both the tradition of the "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest and its international reputation, the quality of its faculty, and the conditions for student training, as well as the increasing demand for the specializations offered by the Faculty of Midwifery and Nursing, it is expected that this faculty will continue to grow and develop in line with national legislation, university charter, European curriculum regulations, and labor market requirements.
