HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT The history of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology No.2 of Kharkiv National Medical University (KhNMU) is an integral part of the development of obstetrics in Ukraine. Its formation is inextricably linked with Kharkiv University, which was founded on January 17, 1805 by the decree of Emperor Alexander I. At its opening, four departments were established, including a medical one. According to the Charter of the University from 1804, the Faculty of Medicine was composed of six departments. Among them was a Department of Obstetrics. The first Head of the Department was Associate Professor of Medicine A.Ya. Kalkau (1805-1811). Systematic teaching of obstetrics is associated with the name of I.P. Kamensky, who headed the department from 1811 to 1819. From 1862 to 1885, the Department was headed by an outstanding obstetrician-gynecologist Ivan Pavlovich Lazarevich who wrote a bright page in the history of domestic and world obstetrics. His main merit is that obstetrics and gynecology began to develop on a scientific basis, acquiring physiological direction, which in turn contributed to the improvement of practical obstetrics. From 1885 to 1902, the Department was headed by an outstanding scientist and talented teacher Mykola Pylypovych Tolochinov. Subsequently, the Heads of the Department were P.A. Yasinsky (1902 - 1903), P.V. Mikhin (1903 - 1912), V.D. Brant (1912 - 1922). From 1946 to 1972, the Department was headed by Honored Scientist, Professor Ivan Ivanovych Grishchenko. In his pedagogical work, he paid special attention to mastering and alternation of practical skills by the students during classes. This was facilitated by the introduction of clinical residency in 1951, which played a major role in improving the quality of the training of specialists in obstetrics and gynecology. From 1972 to 1999 the Department was headed by a student of Professor I.I. Grishchenko, Honored Scientist and Technologist of Ukraine, Professor Mykola Grygorovych Bogdashkin. From 1999 to 2018 the Department was headed by Professor, Honored Worker of Education of Ukraine, Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine Yuri Stepanovich Parashchuk.
