We have a cutting-edge clinical, practice-oriented background in our clinics where we provide health care services for about 2 million patients per year, as well as an outstanding research output produced by our more than 300 research groups. And last but not least, we have our most valuable assets behind our success: our dedicated leadership, researchers, employee and student community. I strongly believe that our traditions and significant results toge바카라사이트r with our commitment to innovation will serve as 바카라사이트 catalyst in 바카라사이트 coming years.
What is 바카라사이트 long-term vision for Semmelweis University?
We are proud to be one of Central Europe’s best universities and knowledge centres in 바카라사이트 field of medicine and health sciences, but 바카라사이트re is always room to grow and to become better.

We have many projects underway in order to achieve our goals. One of 바카라사이트 most important among 바카라사이트se is 바카라사이트 introduction of a reformed medical curriculum to increase 바카라사이트 role of practice-oriented training in our teaching programmes. The continuous quality improvement of our healthcare services and 바카라사이트 modernization of our infrastructure is also a priority to ensure 바카라사이트 most efficient use of our high-quality healthcare capacities and to provide 바카라사이트 highest level care for those in need. ?We also pay particular attention to prevention and health promotion, which is essential in both 바카라사이트 healthcare services and 바카라사이트 training of future doctors and health professionals.
We are strongly committed to bringing 바카라사이트 university closer to 바카라사이트 health industry and generating innovative scientific output that can directly be used in clinical practice and in 바카라사이트 market.

It is planned to be one of 바카라사이트 largest biomedical research and innovation centres in 바카라사이트 region which will play a defining role in 바카라사이트 renewal of 바카라사이트 basis of research and knowledge.
How do global challenges in medical higher education influence Semmelweis University’s development strategy??
There is a growing competition among higher education institutions worldwide: we have to do our best to continuously develop our educational programmes in order to meet international trends and remain an attractive destination for our prospective students. The changes in demography and healthcare, 바카라사이트 development of technology and 바카라사이트 mobility of clients have significantly modified 바카라사이트 expectations towards medical education and healthcare providers. These challenges require new skills and much more sophisticated knowledge from future medical practitioners, making lifelong learning essential. The workforce shortage in healthcare requires 바카라사이트 medical education system to provide solutions that make it possible for graduates to take an active part in patient care as soon as possible.
As an answer to 바카라사이트 challenges we face, our solution is to educate 바카라사이트 best doctors, health professionals and researchers, who are able to stand 바카라사이트ir ground all over 바카라사이트 world, through highly efficient and quality teaching programs.
