The dean of the Belgrade Faculty of Medicine has been replaced Tatjana Simic, as well as all vice deans for teaching. To the position of acting dean of this faculty Professor Nataša Milić was appointed, writes FoNet.
"At the session of the Council of the Faculty of Medicine, held on Tuesday, an illegal decision was made to terminate my mandate, due to an alleged violation of the Code of Professional Ethics, as explained by the chairman of the Council, Marko Lance," said Tatjana Simić.
Simić pointed out that the decision was preceded by several months of activities by Lance, in his capacity as a member of the Ethics Committee of Serbia, directed against her and the Faculty.
Since Simić was dismissed without the proposal of the Scientific and Teaching Council, this, according to professor Ognjen Radonjić, is the collapse of the autonomy of the University of Belgrade.
Portal Nova.rs writes that Milić became known to the public as the first to submit an irrevocable resignation from the post of vice-dean, when the Faculty of Medicine joined the blockades in December last year.
However, she told this portal that she supports student blockades and pointed out that she did not expect to be appointed. She previously resigned from the post of vice dean because, she says, of disagreement with the way the faculty is run, as well as because of her support for students in the blockade.
Who is Nataša Milić, acting dean?
Nataša Milić's father is a former member of the Serbian Radical Party, prof. Dr. Miljko Ristić, who was the head of the Clinical Center of Serbia from 2012 to 2015.
In a statement to Nova.rs, he says: "Of all my children, I have to admit that Natasha was always the most ambitious and hardworking. She was always at the top of the school, and she was also a student of her generation, with an average of 9,96. It also happened that she canceled the grade of nine on the exam, because of how persistent she was to be the best. I don't think she had any ambitions to become a dean, but neither she nor the students with whom she became close decided that. interested in political positions, he is not in any party".
On the website of the Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade, it is written that Dr. Nataša Milić is an associate professor at the Department of Medical Statistics and Informatics and the manager of the Institute for Medical Statistics and Informatics.
His main areas of research are: design and analysis of preclinical, clinical and public health research, survival data analysis, multivariate modeling, integrative studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and meta-research.
He has been a long-term research associate at the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Rochester, USA. He is the president of the commission for master's studies of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Belgrade and the president of the program council for doctoral studies in Biomedical Informatics.
