Background

My name is IULIA IACOB, I am 27 years old, and I am from Bucharest, Romania. Since 2003, I am working as psychologist in the National School of Public Health and Health Services Management (NSPHSM), within the department of the National Center for Health Promotion. The Master in the Management of Social and Health Services was the first theoretical step in my career in public health (2005). I am also certified for passing the final examination of the course of hospital management and international trends in the health system reforms (2006). I am now attending online the one and a half year master of marketing online, using the e-learning procedures.

I found myself at the beginning of my career and developing my specialization will be an asset for both, I and the School. Attending the “Europhamili” course session in Rennes it is for me a unique opportunity to learn directly with European public health specialists and to develop my professional abilities. My expectations with this course are: to better understand the differences and similarities in different countries health systems and rules, to learn good and bad experiences in public health management, to enlarge my public health knowledge and skills, both, theoretical and practical, and, nevertheless, to meet public health specialists from different European countries and backgrounds. Returning back home, I intend to disseminate the knowledge among key persons in health system, my colleagues and the students attending courses at the NSPHSM, through lectures in classes and articles within the periodical “Management in Health”. In the next future, I intend to work and to become adviser for the Romanian public health policy makers. I love to read, travel and listen to music.
