Physicians from Romania at the International Medical Congresses and Conferences during the Past Decade of the XIXth Century and the First Years of the XXth Century

Abstract

At the end of the XIXth century in Europe, modern medical science enjoyed an increasing social prestige and, like all the other modern sciences, medicine was getting an international dimension. The latter manifested itself through the organization of the international medical congresses and conferences in the beginning with the middle of the century. In this paper we deal with the participation of the physicians from Romania in the medical reunions at the end of the XIXth century. We were interested in who participated in these reunions, what quality did they have and the motivations for participation.
