RESEARCH ORIENTATION
Research makes an integral part of the Veterinary faculty’s activities. Most of the research at the Faculty is carried out through projects which are long-term and are funded by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. Research projects serving the needs of the economy, local administrative units, and other clients are supported by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management through their VIP projects, State Institute for the Protection of Nature, Croatian Motorways, and the City of Zagreb. Science and Technology projects are funded by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. International projects are carried out either in cooperation with some EU countries or are co-financed by the corresponding ministries. In the forthcoming period the Faculty aims to direct a major part of its research activities to the pre-accession scientific EU funds, particularly towards the 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7). Such an orientation would also provide funding for training at the international level for both research trainees and Faculty assistants, as well as for the whole teaching and research staff; this would in turn improve their competitiveness on the scientific market.

INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE
The School of Medicine is the central institution devoted to medical education, research and professional development in the field of biomedicine and health in Croatia. Founded in 1917, the Zagreb School of Medicine is the alma mater of numerous generations of physicians and researchers from Croatia and all over the world. Based on its long-standing history of educating physicians from abroad, the Zagreb School of Medicine established its own integral programme of studies taught in the English language in 2003.
Today the Zagreb School of Medicine offers a graduate programme of medical studies conferring a degree of Doctor of Medicine, a variety of postgraduate programmes, ranging from the postgraduate specialist course of studies to the doctoral programme of studies, and a wide range of continuous professional development programmes.
Ever since its outset, and particularly during the implementation of the Bologna process, the school has attempted to harmonize its curricula with the recent advances in medical education and research. The present six-year curriculum stimulates student mobility within related institutions of the University of Zagreb, as well as within other Croatian (Rijeka, Split and Osijek) and international partner schools.
PROGRAMME EMPHASIS
The course of medical studies lasts six years, thus uniting the undergraduate and the graduate level into one single whole (0+6), which has already been accepted by the majority of European universities.
The curriculum leading to the Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of Zagreb Medical School comprises mandatory general premedical courses, as well as four major groups of professional courses such as: basic medical sciences, pre-clinical medicine, clinical medicine and public health. When compared to other medical schools in neighbouring countries, our advantage is an early integration of public health and health management courses in the undergraduate studies’ curriculum. Along with regular academic courses, electives are carried out solely by studying significant problems in medical practice. As far as the teaching is concerned, the focus is shifted from lectures to other, more practical forms of teaching, such as seminars, demonstrations, consultations and clinical audits, where students gain experience in clinical settings, as well as at the facilities of local health centres. Centred on tutorials integrated case-based modules have also been included into the curriculum.
The study of pre-medical disciplines comprises an introduction to the physical, chemical and biological basis of life, whereas in basic medical courses students acquire knowledge and understanding of the structure and function of the human body. The programme of pre-clinical courses comprises the understanding of disease mechanisms, studying their effects and causes on cadavers, drug action and the approach to and examination of patients. The clinical courses are focused on various diseases, methods of their detection (diagnosing), prevention and therapy. Relevant to public health courses are the matters concerning environmental and social health factors together with the physician’s role in the prevention and treatment of diseases. Students also gain insight into elementary research methods, statistics and medical informatics.
Professional ethics is given special coverage throughout the whole course of study with a separate course offered in the third year.
In the final diploma exam taken at the end of the study, prospective physicians are expected to have gained knowledge and understanding of the most common diseases, their treatment and the patients’ rehabilitation.

CAREER PROSPECTS
The fact that physicians will be in greater demand in the future presents an additional challenge to the educational system. Due to the recent generation replacement process, there is a growing demand for educated/certified physicians in all fields of medical practice, as well is in the basic sciences. Physicians who have graduated from the University of Zagreb School of Medicine are educated primarily for the general practice profile. That means that they can start working in their profession immediately after the completion of the one-year internship period, i.e., after having passed the state licensure exam. However, the majority apply for residency positions in numerous specialty fields of medicine and work towards specializing for a particular professional profile. Another group of graduates stays in research and fill the vacancies as research assistants who enrol the doctoral programme of studies in biomedicine and health. As a young faculty they are closely related to the Zagreb School of Medicine and they work towards their becoming professional, both in research and in teaching. Finally, a considerable number of graduates are attracted to the positions offered by the pharmaceutical companies, where they work as pharmaceutical representatives and consultants, while those interested in social aspects of medicine fill vacancies in the sector of public health and health management.
