What University of Belgrade, Faculty of Medicine does

The University of Belgrade, Faculty of Medicine (Univerzitet u Beogradu, Medicinski fakultet) is the largest and most prominent medical faculty in Serbia and the broader Western Balkans region, founded in 1921 and operating as a constituent faculty of the state University of Belgrade. It serves four primary customer segments: prospective medical students entering through a national concours/competition admission process, practicing physicians pursuing specializations and sub-specializations, doctoral and advanced medical researchers, and healthcare professionals seeking continuing medical education. The faculty offers a multi-level education stack spanning Basic Academic Studies in Nursing, six-year Integrated Academic Studies in Medicine (MD degree), Master Academic Studies (including the newly accredited Master 4.0 Bioinformatics), Specialist Academic Studies, Master Professional Studies, Doctoral Academic Studies, and Medical Specializations. Teaching is delivered through a Simulation Center (using augmented, virtual and mixed reality including HoloLens-based telemedicine for pain therapy), the School of Public Health, and clinical teaching at affiliated hospitals.

The faculty's technology stack centers on Reticulum, a Moodle-based learning management system, supplemented by the eStudent and eZaposleni portals for student/faculty communications, a Medical Research Portal at medicalresearch.med.bg.ac.rs, RedCap for research data capture, and standard enterprise tools (Office 365, EduRoam, Microsoft Teams). International engagement is structurally embedded through the Circle U. European University Association (nine participating universities), the Erasmus+ HEPMP project for pain medicine education across Western Balkan countries, and the Tempus SPEED project for sports medicine.

Revenue is generated through four streams: state budget funding for budget-subsidized students, tuition from self-funded (samofinansirajući) students, clinical healthcare services delivered through affiliated hospitals, and EU research grants (Erasmus+, Horizon Europe). As a public institution under the University of Belgrade umbrella, it has no VC or PE backing and is governed by Serbian educational authorities.
