Abstract

The history of higher medical education in the Eastern Croatia began in 1979 when the Satellite Study of Medicine was founded in Osijek within the framework of the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Medicine. In 1998 both personnel and technical conditions for autonomous work of the Faculty of Medicine were fulfilled. At that time, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Medicine and the University Hospital Osijek represented the comer stone of the medical science and clinical expertise in this part of the country. Since medical information, as well as illness itself knows no boundaries, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Medicine positively influenced both the professional and scientific work of the majority of Slavonian county hospitals. The Faculty of Medicine and general hospitals had a two-way relationship. Faculty teachers, who worked at general hospitals, contributed to the health care improvement at their departments by introducing academic criteria as key values for the development of health services. Their participation in international congresses and projects, as well as growing number of published, internationally cited, research papers show remarkable scientific advancement. General hospitals in Slavonski Brod and Požega became teaching bases for students practical education. Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Medicine and general hospitals have interacted successfully and general hospitals have always kept the Faculty updated with health care issues, preventing its fall into "preclinical self isolation".
