The most famous scientists of the 19th and 20th centuries are covered. Their names and fates are closely associated with Karazinsky. The information about the revival and activity of the faculty from 1993 up to the present time is given. Kharkiv National University named after VN Karazin was founded on November 17, 1804, and solemnly opened 29 (17 in the old style) in January 1805.
Since its inception, the Karazin University is an integral part of the cultural, scientific and educational history of Ukraine, occupying leading positions among higher education institutions throughout its existence.
At the time of the University's opening, a medical faculty was established in its staff. Therefore, the history of the medical faculty begins on January 29, 1805, making it the oldest center of higher medical education in Ukraine.
The glorious history of the Faculty of Medicine of Karazin University has created numerous pages in the history of medicine.
The first medical students appeared in 1809-1810. Thus, in the first 30 years of the existence of the medical faculty, about 300 doctors were released. But before that, the professors of the faculty did not spend time, but taught medical sciences to students from the Kharkov college, whose leaders always supported the university and, in particular, medical education. So, in the 18th century, the Kharkiv Collegium directed to send the best students to medical schools. One of these "best" students was Joseph Mukhin, who became an outstanding physician and founder of domestic traumatology. Another pupil of the Kharkiv Collegium, who succeeded in the field of medicine, was Hryhoriy Bazylevych, who became the first domestic clinical professor.
