ABOUT US

In 2018 a new journal is founded directed to family medicine, called the Romanian Journal of Family Medicine (ISSN 2601 – 4874  ISSN-L 2601 – 4874) by Marinela Olăroiu, MD, PhD, former president of the Romanian Society of General Practice/Family Medicine (1998-2000), to provide a communication, research and education platform for the community of family doctors and general practitioners in Romania. Family medicine is the cornerstone of modern health care systems. Therefore up-to-date information on research and innovations, related to family medicine, is essential for continuous quality of care and the health status of citizens. From its inception, the initial founding editor was Mediadomexpress.srl. 

Since May 2024, the journal has a scientific affiliation with the University of Medicine and Pharmacy „Iuliu Hațieganu” , Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

Since June 2026, the journal has been taken over, is scientifically coordinated and edited by the „Iuliu Hațieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca, Department of Family Medicine.

The Romanian Journal of Family Medicine reports on new developments in family medicine, scientifically and practically, and offers an (continuous) education platform for the community of family doctors and general practitioners in Romania.

The journal appears online, quarterly, plus supplements, in Romanian language with summaries in English. Also, full English manuscripts are published, because family medicine is a real international issue.

Family doctors, researchers and policy makers report on research and innovative projects in family medicine, primary care and on health care policy. Also, we want to stimulate the quality in family medicine by publishing discussions and debates on the development of family medicine.

Mission

– contribute to continuous medical education, increasing skills and improving quality in family medicine;
