The year 2018 marks the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining independence. The Medical University of Gdańsk wishes to use this unique opportunity to show all the changes that took place in Polish science, particularly in those fields that are close to our hearts – namely, medicine and pharmacy. The series of events called „Kaleidoscope of 100 years” will introduce key moments, significant achievements and important figures in the history of the Medical University of Gdańsk.
The latest presentation focuses on commemorative plaques placed in the corridors and lecture halls of the University. They depict the lives of the heroes that left their mark in the world. We have the opportunity to get to know prof. Stanisław Bloch, the first dean of Subfaculty of Dentistry and the head of The Department of Prosthodontics, the first director of the AMG hospital dr. Stefan Michalak or prof. Stanisław Janicki who was in charge of The Department of Applied Pharmacy and who also started Gdańsk school of industrial pharmacy (among others). We present them to our readers, hoping the presentation will encourage you to attentively view your surroundings, which more often than not hide hardly known, yet beautiful stories from the past.
Marek Bukowski from the MUG’s Museum and Joanna Śliwińska, the spokesman for MUG, are in charge of this project, with the cooperation of the Main Library, Department of Foreign Languages, University Archives, Information and Promotion Unit and MUG Choir among others.
