The economy of Hungary is undergoing a major transition. The prevalence of behavioural and environmental risk factors is high. The population's health status is among the worst in Europe, and has declined in recent years. The Prussian-style curriculum in the medical universities was rigid and dictated from Budapest and Moscow. The teaching of public health was didactic, there was an emphasis on subjects such as dialectic materialism and hygiene. "Development of Medical Education for a New Public Health in Hungary", a three-year project funded by the European Community's TEMPUS program, is established to develop undergraduate and graduate education. It is a joint program between the five Hungarian medical schools and ten universities in Western countries including Canada. The reformation includes a shift from didactic teaching methods to problem-based learning techniques and greater emphasis on health promotion and population health. Communication within the project is facilitated through an electronic 'list server' based in London, Ontario.
匈牙利的经济正在经历重大转型。行为和环境风险因素的流行率很高。该国人口的健康状况在欧洲处于最差之列，且近年来有所下降。医科大学普鲁士风格的课程很死板，由布达佩斯和莫斯科发号施令。公共卫生教学是说教式的，重点放在辩证唯物主义和卫生学等科目上。由欧洲共同体的坦普斯计划资助的一个为期三年的项目“匈牙利新公共卫生医学教育的发展”已启动，旨在发展本科和研究生教育。这是匈牙利五所医学院与包括加拿大在内的西方国家十所大学之间的联合项目。改革包括从说教式教学方法转向基于问题的学习技巧，并更加注重健康促进和人群健康。该项目内部的交流通过设在安大略省伦敦市的一个电子“列表服务器”来推动。
