O INTERPRETARE TRANSCULTURALĂ: ETICĂ MEDICALĂ ŞI PROBLEME MORALE ÎN LUMEA ARABĂ
A TRANSCULTURAL INTERPRETATION: MEDICAL ETHICS AND MORAL ISSUES IN THE ARAB WORLD

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents some aspects foreign students have to cope with when coming to study medicine in Romania. The most difficult challenges are faced by those with a completely different background, that is, the case of Arab students. In order to successfully progress through their academic programme they have to get over language and culture barriers first, secondly to accept the eating habits and the customs and traditions of the new country. Religion is another element that triggers controversy, especially if related to medical issues and medical ethics. Nevertheless, once students manage to overcome language barriers they stand a real chance of becoming successful doctors.
