In the academic year 2022\/2023, Semmelweis University celebrated the 40th anniversary of the international medical training program launched at the institution. German-language training started in 1983, followed by the English-language program in 1989. The recently published jubilee volume Semmelweis International 40<\/em> commemorates the organizational, recruitment, and educational experiences and achievements of four decades with personal accounts by forty authors.<\/span><\/div>\n

The university celebrated the 40th anniversary of its international medical training program with a series of events throughout the academic year 2022\/2023. The editor-in-chief of this anniversary publication is Dr. Istv\u00e1n Gera, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Periodontology and former Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, who has been involved in the education of international students for 35 years, almost from the beginning. Each of the forty authors of this volume has contributed to the fact that today one third of Semmelweis University students come from a foreign country. In connection with the preparation of the volume, Dr. Istv\u00e1n Gera stressed that, in addition to the university leaders, they had asked some of the most eminent academics for a contribution, who recall in a personal tone the launch of the training program, the recruitment, and the events that have made the more than 250-year-old institution the leading medical school in Central and Eastern Europe as well as a truly international university.<\/p>\n

The book opens with a welcome address by Rector Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely and closes with a contribution by Dr. Al\u00e1n Alp\u00e1r, Vice-Rector for International Studies. Among the authors are Dr. Veronika \u00c1d\u00e1m, member of the former Operational Committee for English-language Training Programs; Dr. P\u00e9ter P\u00e1l Bucsky, former Rector\u2019s Commissioner of the Asklepios Campus Hamburg, Semmelweis University; Dr. Mikl\u00f3s Csala, Head of the Directorate of International Studies; Dr. Attila Horv\u00e1th, President of Local Board, McDaniel College Budapest; Dr. J\u00f3zsef Mandl, member of the former Operational Committee for English-language Training Programs; Dr. Karl J. Oldhafer, Rector\u2019s and Dean\u2019s Representative of the Asklepios Campus Hamburg; Dr. P\u00e1l R\u00f6hlich, member of the German Admission Committee; and many others, including former students of the university. The editors pay tribute to the work of Dr. Attila Fony\u00f3 and Dr. Anna K\u00e1d\u00e1r with posthumous quotations.<\/p>\n

The book covers five major topics: The \u201cgolden age\u201d of medical programs in English and German, that is, the early years; international programs; international relations; recollections of teachers and alumni; and a summary of the International 40 series of events. A large part of the illustrations is from the private collection of Dr. Istv\u00e1n Gera. The professor emeritus added that although the jubilee year had come to an end, there would be an anniversary in 2024 as well: It was exactly 30 years ago, in 1994, that the first international students of the English-language program at both the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Dentistry received their diplomas.<\/p>\n

The staff of Semmelweis University\u2019s Institute of Languages for Specific Purposes translated the text into English and German, and the trilingual publication was born. The editor-in-chief of the volume is Dr. Istv\u00e1n Gera, the editors are Dr. Al\u00e1n Alp\u00e1r, Vice-Rector for International Studies, and D\u00f3ra Szepesi, Head of the Directorate General of Marketing and Communication. The technical editor of the book is Bogl\u00e1rka Zita Somfai from the Center of International Training Programs. The volume was published by Semmelweis Publishing.<\/p>\n
