However, the field faces a crisis, with fewer graduates pursuing academic careers. Family medicine emerged as an academic discipline in the second half of the 20th century, contributing significantly to science and primary healthcare. Despite its recognised status, the World Health Organization has yet to formally define it as an academic discipline. Nevertheless, the discipline must continually update its academic dimension in order to address future challenges. The international conference in Banja Luka, attended by deans or representatives of Medical Faculties in Southeast Europe, emphasized family medicine's role in primary healthcare and academic medicine, adopting the Banja Luka Declaration to promote family medicine as an independent academic discipline. The conference aims to inspire global support for family medicine as an academic disciplineAkademska medicina zajema izobraževanje, raziskave in klinično prakso ter ima ključno vlogo pri napredku medicinske znanosti in usposabljanju zdravnikov. Kljub temu se sooča s krizo, saj se manj diplomantov odloča za akademsko kariero. Družinska medicina se je kot akademska disciplina pojavila v drugi polovici 20. stoletja in pomembno prispevala k znanosti in primarnemu zdravstvenemu varstvu. Kljub priznanemu statusu Svetovna zdravstvena organizacija še ni formalno opredelila družinske medicine kot akademske discipline. Vseeno pa mora ta stroka nenehno posodabljati svoje akademsko področje, da se sooči z izzivi, ki so pred njo. Mednarodna konferenca v Banja Luki, katere so se udeležili dekani in predstavniki iz jugovzhodne Evrope, je poudarila vlogo družinske medicine v primarnem in akademskem zdravstvenem varstvu ter sprejela Banjaluško deklaracijo za spodbujanje družinske medicine kot neodvisne akademske discipline. Cilj konference je spodbuditi globalno podporo za akademsko družinsko medicinoTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaNacionalni inštitut za javno zdravje
