Title: The Role of Professors from the Faculty of Medicine in Imposing Social Medicine in Inter-War Romania. Preliminaries [Rolului profesorilor Facultatilor de Medicina in impunerea medicinei sociale in Romania interbelica. Preliminarii]
Abstract: I try to propose a new interpretation of the relationship between the Romanian universities and their teachers with the Romanian society. In Iasi, in touch with the professionalisation of the professors, it was developed a university model that will not remain impassive to the effort of modernization of Romanian society. Although that the University of Iasi was built around the Napoleonian model, at the end of the 19th century, professors of Iasi will use knowledge of academic disciplines to popularize ideas in public space in order to become common values. From the point of view of the University-society relationship, we consider important pathways by which the conversion of this speech was produced. In this way, the social role of the University in Iasi and his teachers became a major subject of reflection. In this context it is important to configure the various situations of public engagement of teachers from the faculty of Medicine. After the first world war, the medical and social situation of the war wounded, orphans of the war or families of those missing, have offered the framework where the professors promote the new ideas about the role of the State and the local community to the heroes of the war. The debates led to the manifestation of new perspectives on the problem of public education, the hygiene and living conditions, on medical assistance.
