Abstract:
Several East European countries are faced with far-reaching changes both in the health care system and in medical education. In Hungary, this is partly due to the background of political change, but also to the manifest deterioration of public health during the past 10-20 years. A Hungarian aim has been to reform both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, with a greater emphasis on community medicine. Via its TEMPUS programme, the EC is therefore supporting the modernization of Hungarian education in community medicine.
