History
Ternopil
State medical Institute was inaugurated on September 1, 1957 by the resolution
of the Ukrainian government of April 12, 1957. In the city that had been almost
completely destroyed during the World War II and just began rising from the
ruins, it was the first higher educational establishment. Three days after the
government resolution, the appointed Director (Rector) of the medical
Institute, Candidate of Medical Sciences, surgeon P.O. Ogiy (later on M.D.,
Professor) and prof. Martynyuk A.H., the vice-rector, arrived to Ternopil. By
the decision of the Regional Council, two educational buildings and two hostels
were allotted to the Institute. The clinical base was provided by the City
Hospital that had been functioning then as the Regional Hospital. Morphological
building, Regional Hospital and a new hostel were under construction. 19
departments began functioning at the Institute, 66 teachers were working there
(including 1 M.D., and 17 Candidates of Med. Sc.).
Standing
at the starting line were young teachers-scientists, later on professors,
honoured scientists K.V.Kovanov, Yu.T.Komorovsky, A.I. Lokay, I.O.Sytnyk,
M.P.Skakun. Among the founders was Ye.H. Honcharuk, an assistant teacher of
General Hygiene Department, later on Academician of the National Academy of
Sciences, the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine and many foreign
academies, Rector of the Kyiv National Medical University named after
O.O.Bohomolets.
Even
under the communist regime, there were displays of unconventional thinking,
courage of mind and ability to arouse moral consciousness.
V.S. Lisovy, the philosophy teacher, who was working at the institute in
1962-1966, is remembered by the students of the 1960s owing to his
lectures and original institute wallpapers which he edited. Arrested for the
“anti-soviet activity”, he served 11 years in jail and concentration camps. In
1998, he came to meet the rector, teachers and students of the Medical Academy
and delivered lecture on philosophy to the second-year students. At present, V.
Lisovy, the Candidate of Philosophy is the Head of the History Department at
the Philosophy Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and
Professor at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. It is worth mentioning that such
graduates as Heorgy Petruk-Popyk, Stepan Babiy, and Hanna Kostiv-Huska made
their literary debut as students and became famous poets. The development of
the Institute is inseparably connected with the names of its rectors
Assistant Professor I.I. Hetman (1972-1981), Prof. I.S. Smiyan (1881-1997); the
vice-rectors, professors O.A. Yarosh, O.N. Lulka, I.V. Shust, I.O. Sytnyk, V.H.
Koveshnikov (the former Rector of the Luhansk Medical University). With Ukraine
attaining independence, new opportunities and impulses for the
institute development, in particular the chance of entering into market
relations and joining the European educational community, have
become available. Here are some landmarks.
On July
1, 1992 by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers the Institute was named
after I.Ya. Horbachevsky, a famous scientist, member of the T.G.Shevchenko
Scientific Society and All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, born in the Ternopil
region. In 1994 the institute obtained the highest IV accreditation degree and
was granted a licence for training 400 students at the Medical Faculty. In
1995, the Faculty of Nursing in the specialties “Nursing” (training nurse’s
andnurses with a bachelor’s degree) and “Laboratory Diagnosis” (training
laboratory assistants with a bachelor’s degree) as well as the
educational Medical Institute-Lyceum complex (the former Halytsky College)
was founded. As compared to 82 faculty students in 1995, the number grew
to 450 in 1997. On January 30, 1997 by the decision of the Cabinet of
Ministers of Ukraine the institute was awarded the status of Academy. In April
1997 the I.Ya. Horbachevsky Ternopil State Medical Academy celebrated its 40th anniversary.
Professor I.S.Smiyan, the Honorary Worker of Higher School and the
Coresponding Member of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, was the
rector for 16 years. In 2003 the rector prof. L.Y.Kovalchuk was
elected a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Medical Sciences of
Ukraine. Professor M.P.Skakun was a Honorary Worker of Higher School too.
Professors L.Ya. Kovalchyk, M.A.
Andreychyn, Ya.I. Fedonyuk, O.O.Markova, M.I. Shved, S.V. Khmil, S.I. Smiyan,
S.N. Vadzyuk, S.I. Shkrobot and V.V. Bihunyak are Honorary Workers of
Science and Technology of Ukraine. Professor O.M. Yedynak and associate
professor V.V. Demyanenko were awarded the title of Honorary Inventor of
Ukraine.
Since
1997, the Specialized Council for defending theses in Surgery, Normal
Anatomy (medical and biological sciences) and Pathologic Physiology has been
functioning (M.D., Professor L.Ya. Kovalchuk is the Head of the Council).
In 2004 the Specialized Council for defending theses in Paediatrics,
Obstetrics and Gynaecology was established. In August 1997, the Honorary Worker
of Science and Technology of Ukraine, M.D., Professor L.Ya. Kovalchuk headed
the Academy. The rector’s credo is: “We must establish the educational
institution of high European standard”.
In 1999
the Academy confirmed the highest (IVth) degree of accreditation. In
2000 the newly organised Pharmaceutical Faculty began training pharmacists and
from 2001 – clinical pharmacists and pharmacists-cosmetologists. In 2000 the
Academy received the licence providing obstetricians, doctor’s assistants and
nurses-laboratory assistants to be trained. The Nurses Training Faculty was
reorganized into the Faculty of Bachelors of Junior Medical Personnel and in
2003 – into the Medical College.
Since
1997 foreign citizens have been studying as students and clinical interns. At
that time the Preparatory Courses were organized for them. There were formed
departments of Hospital Therapy No.2, Medical Informatics with the Course of
Physics and Special Equipment, Emergency Medicine, Ambulatory Care, Diagnostics
and Medical Informatics of the Postgraduate Training Faculty (on the basis of
the Rivne Regional Hospital), Pharmacognosy with Biology and Medical Genetics,
Physiotherapy, Medical Rehabilitation and Balneology, Obstetrics and
Gynaecology No.2, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Subjects.
Complex
restructuring of all the trends of activity was under way. The educational
process was aimed at meeting world qualification standards. The subject of
Osteoporosis was the number one priority of the scientific activity with the
half of the departments involved. Inventive activity was in progress,
scientific developments being regularly introduced in practical health care. In
particular, the lyophilized pig xenodermotransplants, developed by prof.
V.V.Bihunyak, are widely used for the treatment of burns in all national burns
centres. The goal of improving medical and prophylactic activity was attained
through the establishment of consultative and treatment centre.
Spirit of
the new time called forth positive changes in upbringing, national and
patriotic activity, as well as in the spiritual life of the Academy. The system
of tutors and students’ self-governing was regulated. The brass band and choir,
dancing group, ensemble of folk instruments and sports sections were popular
then. The students participated actively in the Club of Talented Youth, amateur
theatre and discussing club. The Academy had its own picture-gallery. A new
generation of poets was growing among the teachers and students. Poetic
anthologies by Lesia Romanchuk (a member of the Ukrainian Society of Writers),
Valeriy Didukh, Roman Ladyka were published.
