Text b from history of pharmaceutical education
In our country
In Russia future specialists began their education as pupils at chemist’s shops and after that they became students of 2-year provisional courses at some universities. There were pharmaceutical faculties at universities with a 5-year course of study in Moscow, Leningrad, Perm, Vinnitsa.
Since 1919 independent pharmaceutical and chemico-pharmaceutical institutes tend to appear in our country. Most of the pharmaceutical institutes at that time trained specialists with higher education for the newly organized pharmaceutical industry.
It was done little to
satisfy the needs of pharmacies. Training specialists with higher
pharmaceutical education was the subject of discussion of many
pharmaceutical congresses, conferences, etc.
The network of pharmacies grew from year to year.
September, 8, 1936 is the historical date in the development of higher pharmaceutical education. The resolution concerning higher pharmaceutical education was passed on this day.
For a long time there had been a single branch of science called ‘pharmacy’. Later on pharmacy as a science became so vast that its many branches appeared: pharmaceutical chemistry, technology, biochemistry, organization and economy of pharmacy, pharmacognozy, toxicology, etc.
Great Patriotic War and the whole after war period showed the importance of our higher pharmaceutical education.
