History
( Medical University of Gdansk , medical university of gdansk tuition fees , medical university of gdansk fees , medical university of gdansk application , medical university of gdansk ranking )
After the end of World War II, on October 8th, 1945, The Akademia Lekarska in Gdańsk was founded. Its history is related to the centuries-old tradition of the medical practice of surgeons associated with the Surgeons Guild (active since 1454), as well as teaching and medical and scientific research, particularly in Gdańskie Gimnazjum Akademickie (Atheneum Gedanese) established in 1558.
This institution set up the Department of Science and Medicine (physices et medicinae), which was managed and supervised by eminent scholars. Among the most famous lecturers were: Joachim Oelhafius, a native of Gdańsk, who in 1613 was the first to perform a public autopsy of a newborn child in Northern Europe, and doctor Jan Adam Kulmus, the author of the anatomical atlas “Tabulae anatomicae”, published in 1932.
The traditions of pharmaceutical sciences in Gdańsk date back to the times of Johannes Placotomus, the author of superb books and founder of the first pharmacy in Gdańsk in 1527, and Johannes Schmiedt, alias Fabritius, the co-author of the oldest Polish pharmacopoeia, published in 1665. In 1950 its name was changed to Akademia Medyczna (The Medical University of Gdansk).
