Abstract
“The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease”, the famous writer and philosopher Voltaire once said. In order to heal patients, the key is to educate future medical doctors who will be capable of integrating different aspects of medicine and education. Accordingly, the main vision of the Faculty of Medicine Rijeka is internationalization as one of the most powerful ways to create a world without borders, a world where medicine knows no frontiers. With its scientific, professional, and general intellectual capacity, based on tradition and continuous development, the Faculty of Medicine Rijeka is an important factor on the biomedical map worldwide. We widely open new doors of cooperation and partnership with the international academic community by promoting the input and output of scientific and educational mobility and rapid flow of information, education, and ideas. Our mission is to educate, inspire, and encourage future physicians to create a better and healthier world focused on humanity and altruism. Internationalization is a bridge that connects people to the world of science and education. Since the academic year 2017/2018, the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Rijeka introduced the University integrated undergraduate and graduate study program of Medicine in English. Today we count more than 250 students from different parts of the world, including many European countries, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, China, Africa, Brazil, the Middle East, and many others, who study together and grow as a unique part of the educational process, constantly expanding our horizons and international visibility.
