The year 2010 will be proclaimed the “Thoma Ionescu Year” for the Romanian medicine. This occasion marks a unique double anniversary: 150 years since the birth of the great scientist and 100 years since his surgical demonstrations during an Anglo-American tour in New York, Philadelphia, Rochester and Chicago.
Brother of politician Take Ionescu, Thoma signed up for the University of Medicine in Paris, in 1879, after graduating “Sfântul Sava” High School, while, at the same time, attending the courses of the Faculty of Law, which he graduated in 1882. After this, he passed the exams for non-resident and resident medical studentship, thus completing his clinical and surgical training.
