Popa” University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Iasi, cardiologist and internist, said that the training of a young person cannot be complete if this does not start from internal medicine. “I’m a person who is glad that I had the opportunity to see all the dynamics of medicine because we moved from a classical medicine to a modern medicine. Modern medicine means explorationist medicine. Young people are attracted to this and it is normal to be so, but young people must equally know that they cannot be a complete doctor if they do not start from integrative medicine as internal medicine is integrative medicine,” stressed the university professor.
