CFU – UMF Cluj was founded in 1997 and is the first academical structure of its kind in Romania dedicated to the imagistic post-universitary education.

CFU’s main activities are:

a.       Providing high quality-ultrasonographical education, nurturing the development of a large number of diverse scientific research projects

b.      Supplying a high quality didactic product in accordance with the principles of supraspecialization

c.       Introducing of a quota for a better organization of the echography teaching

d.      Introducing the up-to-date long-distance teaching system that facilitates access to the US image library and exchange of images among several medical clinics as part of the teaching process

e.       Introducing new medical ultrasound specific teaching techniques

f.        Establishing computer-assisted evaluation system of continuous medical education (CME) in ultrasonography

g.       Affiliation to international ultrasonography standards

h.       Developing the CFU model in the other affiliated centres in Romania

CFU will cooperate with other departments within UMF Cluj-Napoca for best preparation and implementation of this project. The actors envisaged to be part of eTNM are: Oncology Department, Gastroenterology Department, and Gaenecology Department.
