by Maria Theresia, etc.). The Josephinian era had a more free atmosphere; its reform measures influenced in a positiv way the life of the Faculty. It was due to the efforts of Joseph II. that the Faculty had been transferred to Pest in 1784. The development of the Faculty was hindered here also by inconvenient placing, material and technical difficulties. The situation didn't improve substantially even in this period but the continuity of the Hungarian medical training was preserved. Some personal changes occured in the teaching staff but this fact alone didn't alter the spirit of the Faculty. The number of the students and graduated was proportionally increasing. Reform schemes were elaborated to improve the effectiveness of the medical training. The professors of the Faculty enriched these reform schemes by new subjects; with the introduction of State Medicine they came before many European universities. This period of the faculty (1784—1806) was completed by the introduction of the II. Ratio Educationis. A great number of eminent students finished their studies in this period, who not only continued the work of their predecessors but could rise later as members of the teaching staff the Hungarian medical training on a higher level.
