Cătălina Poiană, președintele Colegiului Medicilor din România: 'Nu există o baghetă magică pentru deficitul de medici de familie din mediul rural'

The president of the Romanian College of Physicians, Cătălina Poiană, stated that there are no quick solutions for the shortage of family doctors in rural areas, but recent measures may lead to rejuvenation in this field over time. She emphasized the aging workforce of family doctors as a national issue and highlighted the increase in residency spots for family medicine. Poiană noted that changes take time, as medical training is lengthy, and the effects of these measures will be seen in the future. Additionally, she called for reforms in medical education and the modernization of family medicine practices to attract new professionals.
