The title of medical assistant is generic and designates a group of professions in the health field other than general nurse or midwife.

The recognition of medical assistant qualification titles obtained in another EU Member State aims to facilitate the right of establishment and the holder's access to the profession on the territory of Romania. The practice of the profession is allowed after obtaining membership in the Order of General Nurses, Midwives and Medical Assistants of Romania (OAMGMAMR), as a result of the recognition stopped qualification.

This procedure does not apply to qualification titles of medical assistant obtained in a state other than those mentioned (third state) nor in the case of temporary or occasional provision of specific health care services in Romania by medical assistants established in one of the other EU Member States.

Procedure description:

  • Within 30 days from the registration date, OAMGMAMR notifies the applicant, confirming receipt of the file and, as the case may be, requesting the missing documents.
  • Within a maximum of 3 months from the notification, the applicant is obliged to complete the file with all the requested documents. If the applicant does not respect the completion deadline, at its expiration, OAMGMAMR archives the file and informs the applicant in writing to this effect. Within 120 days from submitting the complete file, the OAMGMAMR Commission for the recognition of qualifications as general nurse, midwife, and medical assistant obtained in another EU Member State, in a state belonging to the EEA, or in the Swiss Confederation analyzes the applicant’s education and professional experience and formulates a well-justified proposal regarding the way of resolving the request, as follows:

a) Recognition of the qualification without application of compensatory measures. Based on this proposal, the President of OAMGMAMR issues the decision of qualification recognition.

b) Recognition of the qualification with compensatory measures. This proposal as well as the curricular differences established by the OAMGMAMR Commission for the recognition of qualifications as general nurse, midwife and medical assistant, the associated bibliography and the duration of the adaptation internship are approved by the President of OAMGMAMR and communicated to the applicant within the mentioned 120-day deadline. If the applicant opts to take an aptitude test, the date of the test is set by mutual agreement within a maximum of 6 months from the date the compensatory measure recognition is approved by the President of OAMGMAMR.

The President of OAMGMAMR issues the decision of qualification recognition based on the documents attesting the completion of the compensatory measure by the applicant.

In both situations, the decision to recognize the qualification is communicated to the applicant and the OAMGMAMR branch of his/her domicile, in order to obtain the membership certificate and professional authorization.
