Abstract

School of Medicine of the University of Zagreb was established in 1874, but it waited until 1917 to start teaching. As soon as the 14 th century, the Bishop of Zagreb and a physician Iacoppo of Piacenza collected a large amount of medical manuscripts in a failed attempt to start teaching medicine within the cathedral school. Similar attempts to establish a university school of medicine can be traced back to 1790, but obstacles prevailed. In 1812, Rudolf Lamprecht, a surgeon and obstetrician started a school of surgery that did not live to see the summer. In 1877, another surgeon and obstetrician, Antun Lobmayer started a midwifery school that has remained to this day. University medical classes for the students of the Faculty of Law (health law and forensic medicine) and the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts (a natomy and hygiene) had been held since the mid 19 th century, and the programme was extended to studies of the pharma- ceutics established in 1882. Hygiene was taught by Moric Weiss (1849), Franjo Hensler (1879-85) and Mihajlo Joanović (1897-1925; he estab lished the University Hygiene Institute in 1899), and forensic medicine by Mavro Sachs (1849 and 1861-88), Antun Lobmayer (1888-1906) and Danijel Riessner (since 19 06.). Biologist Antun Heinz taught bacteriology at the Faculty of Philosophy (or Arts) from 1892 to 1907, and M. Jovanović established the Bacteriology Institute in 1907. Pos tgraduate studies for physicians were first introduced by the Croatian Medical Association in 1 907, along with a number of courses for voluntary nurses for the Red Cross during WWI.
