After nearly a decade of lack of the component organized in practice centers in preparing students from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Bucharest, since 2009, this activity was revived by visits in the practice centers of groups accompanied by teachers with norm of practice. The study was conducted with three groups of 25 students and was held in the stages of the practice in 2010, 2011 and 2013. This practice activity offered the students the opportunity of applying knowledge acquired during the academic year/years. The groups of students who took the practice stage at Tulcea Sanitary Veterinary Department had the opportunity to perform various activities (baby boar castration, artificial insemination in sow etc.) on farms in the county. Students also actively participated in the maneuvers and activities of various departments of County Sanitary Veterinary Laboratory subordinated to SVD (necropsy, trichinoscopy, etc.). After completion of the program most students expressed their desire to visit different sights of Dobrogea. Thus, they had the opportunity to visit museums subordinated to Tulcea Eco-Museum Research Institute (Ecotourist Museum Center "Danube Delta" - Aquarium, Museum of History and Archaeology, Ethnography and Folk Art Museum), all of which are in the municipality area. On weekends, students were in boat rides on the Danube Delta canals, made equestrian tourism in Macin Mountains National Park, visited various archaeological sites and ancient and/ or medieval citadels (Aegyssus/ Tulcea, Noviodunum/ Isaccea, Enisala/ Heracleea, Histria, Argamum). The beautiful touristic journey included visits at Dobrogea Gorges and Gura Portitei. This approach to practical activity including the cultural side, respectively the touring side, had a very positive feedback from students who have completed the practice stage in an efficient and pleasant manner by an optimal combination of these sides with education.
