  1. Introduction

    The health system is field suitable for employees, as it's the one that has to deal most with the lack of the training and improvement of medical staff, more than other fields and organizations. I say this because this profession is considered to be one of the most taxing occupations from this point of view and the achievement of professional goals may lead to dissatisfaction with work.

    Studies have been conducted about the lack of a professional development program regarding the mental health of medical staff and the efficiency of the performed activity, as this is a subject which is debated in international literature.

    The paper deals with a current issue which has several impacts on the quality of human resources and their effective management.

    Pronounced tiredness, overtaxing and dissatisfaction with salaries, the blockage in the allotment of human resources according to the needs of the departments, the insufficiency of material resources characterize our public health environment. Nevertheless, the two analyzed private hospitals do not deal with the same situation.

    The results of the paper confirm the existence of the relationship between the quality of the professional life of the medical staff and the quality of medical services. Thus, direct connections have been established between the way in which salary levels influence the employees' professional lives and the subjects' desire to migrate from their current workplace as well as the way in which the working conditions affect the personal life and health of the employees belonging to the health system.

    This paper aims to implement some programs for the training and improvement of medical staff. After these programs, the doctors shall have the opportunity to be promoted and their salaries will rise, too. If such a program is implemented in Romania, then we may hope that Romanian doctors will think twice before they leave for other European countries in order to achieve a better standard of living and the professional development programs provided by these countries.

    The training meets the employees' expectations and the needs of the organization at the same time. It contributes to the achievement of goals--professional satisfaction, economic performance--taking into account the evolution of jobs. It also helps to keep the employees within the organization and permanently adapt the available skills to the skills required by the job (Peretti, 1994: 393).

    We often associate the success of an enterprise with its ability to develop and update the skills of its employees. They spend important amounts of money on this. Nevertheless, the training should not be regarded as a lost expense of the company, but it should be closely connected to the company strategy and it should contribute to increasing its performance (Campoy and Maclouf, 2008: 139).

    According to HR management specialists, professional training is a complex post-educational process through which the individual acquires the required knowledge and applies it to concrete situations in order to perform an activity which is useful to society (The Magazine of Economy and Local Government, 2003: 35).

    Professional training is a logic and systematic whole of theoretical knowledge and practical abilities acquired through professional preparation, subject to the process of permanent extension and renewal by the improvement of professional preparation, the necessary knowledge and...
