History

The medical faculty of the Kiev University, reorganized in 1920 at the Kiev Medical Institute under Taras Shevchenko Kiev National Univerisity, 22 medical students who entered the faculty listened to the first lecture on anatomy on September 9, 1841.

Due to the lack of proper premises for the placement of the medical faculty, its opening was scheduled for 1842, when it was supposed to complete the construction of the main university facility. However, the need for doctors, especially in connection with the widespread spread of epidemics in the country, was so great that in December 1840, Minister Uvarov, to change the previous decree, proposed the administration of the University of Kyiv from the beginning of 1841/42. To open the 1 st year of the medical faculty.

The term of study at the medical faculty was 5 years, and in all other faculties - 4 years.

According to the statute of 1842, intended exclusively for the University of Kiev, the medical faculty should consist of the following departments: 1) physiological anatomy with micrography; 2) physiology of a healthy person; 3) physiology of a sick person, or pathological physiology with pathological anatomy; 4) general therapy and "medical phrases" with the necessary indications on toxicology; 5) operative surgery with a surgical clinic; 6) theoretical surgery with ophthalmology; 7) private therapy in full; 8) therapeutic clinic with semiotics; 9) obstetrics theoretical and practical, obstetric clinic; 10) state medical science, which includes: a) judicial medicine; b) medical police with hygiene; c) medical law, that is, a brief statement of the case, the order of service, as well as information on civil service and jurisprudence in the amount required for a doctor; d) veterinary police with epizootic diseases. These departments were to be replaced gradually, with the organization at the medical faculty of senior courses.

The medical faculty was given a part of the laboratory property of the Vienna Medical-Surgical Academy, closed by the royal government shortly before the establishment of the faculty. Due to the fact that most of the professors and academics were Poles, few were able to work at the Medical Faculty of Kyiv University.

In May 1845, the first issue was held. Medical faculty of the Kiev university have finished, having received a doctor's degree, 3 persons.

Already at the founding of the faculty he was assigned an important role in the system of medical education in to become the leading center for other medical faculties in southern Russia.

The successes of the medical faculty of the Kyiv University are largely due to the fact that its development, like the origin of the faculty, is associated with the name of MI Pirogov. In the Diary of the Old Doctor Nikolai Ivanovich, speaking about his activities as a member and commission under the Ministry of Education, he said: "All the affairs and even the election of the medical faculties of all Russian universities passed through our hands. Especially, the newly established medical department at the time, the Faculty of Kiev University was almost entirely established and elected in our Commission. "

Students and successors of Nikolai Ivanovich were the first professors of the faculty - V.O. Karavaev, M.I.Kozlov, O.P. Walter.

The formation of V.O. Karavaev as a scientist and skilled surgeon was under direct influence of MI Pirogov, who wrote: "I can rightfully consider one of my scientific pets: I directed his steps in the field of surgery, told him the direction I had already chosen for me in the study of surgery. "

Professor of anatomy, M.I. Kozlov, while in Dorpat, listened to remarkable lectures by MI Pirogov, under his influence, the scientific beliefs of MI were formed. Kozlov about anatomy. MI Kozlov's enormous erudition gave him the opportunity to teach at the same time a course in the history of medicine, which was also to some extent the influence of his teacher, who paid a lot of attention to the history of the development of medical knowledge. The genius of MI Pirogov, which covered all the rich heritage of the past, sought the future, sought new scientific facts that could enrich the medicine and indicate the ways of its further development. This could not but affect the activities of his students.

The gradual development of the ideas of MI Pirogov's medical faculty can also be traced to the work of successor M. I. Kozlov on the department of anatomy of Professor O. P. Walter.

While attending the lectures of MI Pirogov, as well as working at the clinic headed by him, the young O. P. Walter became a hotly supporter of his teacher, trying, as far as possible, to immitate him in the method of knowledge of scientific truths, built on a solid foundation of established facts, not assuming any unconfirmed experience of the findings. About that O.P. Walter followed the ideas of MI Pirogov, testifying to his words: "Probably no one will reprobate that I have always followed Pirogov, where only to do this ..."

On the initiative of O. P. Walter, according to the project of the famous architect O. Beretti on Fundukleevskaya Street (now B. Khmelnitsky Street) an anatomical theater was built - one of the best at that time not only in Russia but also in the world. V.O. Beats called him "the palace of science".

Together with V.O. Karavaev and M.I. Kozlov, O.P.Valter sowed seeds of those advanced ideas, which in the future gave a rich harvest at the medical faculty of the University of Kyiv.

In the early 60's of the XIX century. the Kyiv University began the activities of a prominent Ukrainian Y. K. Shymanovsky, who came to Kyiv at the invitation of MI Pirogov. Pirogov significantly influenced the work of Shimanovsky in the field of surgery. His interest in osteoplasty, as well as the achievements in the development and improvement of various osteoplastic methods, are inextricably linked with the works of MI Pirogov in this field. On personal andMichael Ivanovich's request Shimanovsky wrote an explanation to his classical work "Surgical anatomy of arterial trunks and fascias," as well as worked out and supplemented illustrations to her.

For some time, the department of theoretical surgery with the hospital surgical clinic of the Kiev University was headed by a prominent Russian surgeon MV Sklyfosovsky, who also recommended for this post MI Pirogov.

His classical work, "Anatomy of the Surface of the Brain", was the beginning of a modern doctrine of the cellular structure of the cerebral cortex. Of great importance were the research by V.O.

One of the founders of the national histophysiology and sanitary education of the population was Professor MA Khrzhnchevsky.
