first chairs of pharmacy in poland were formed as a direct result of the disbanding of the jesuit order in 1773. at the time, this order had complete control over the entire polish education system. the fact that the commission of national education was able to take over jesuit possessions made education reform all the more possible. the end result was a three-stage secular educational system with elementary schools at the base and two universities (or main schools, as they were called) - the crown school of kraków and the lithuanian school of vilnius. andrzej badurski was the major initiator of reform in the teaching of pharmacy. andrzej szaser also helped in implementing these reforms. in 1783, the chair of pharmacy and medical matter was established at the crown school of kraków. its first professor was jan szaster (1746-1793), a kraków pharmacist and doctor of medicine. in 1804, pharmacy training was shortened to one year in all schools of the austrian monarchy, including the crown school of kraków. after the republic of kraków was established in 1815, a two-year pharmacy course was introduced into the kraków school. from 1809, the education of pharmacists took place at two faculties, namely at the faculty of medicine, and philosophy. in 1809, józef sawiczewski was appointed head of the chair of pharmacy and medical matter. after his death in 1825, this function was entrusted to florian sawiczewski, the most outstanding pharmacy professor of the time. in 1851, he was named rector of jagiellonian university. in 1833, the chair of pharmacy was integrated with the chair of general and applied chemistry, later a part of the faculty of philosophy, which substantially changed how the teaching of pharmacy was organized. in the period from 1857 to 1920, pharmacy students had their classes conducted by such renowned professors as edward janczewski, józef łazarski, emil czyrniański, karol olszewski, zygmunt wróblewski, marian smoluchowski, rafał czerwiakowski, józef rostafiński, and władysław szajnocha. amidst nationwide discussion, the teaching of pharmacy was completely reformed after poland regained independence in 1918. pharmaceutical departments were transformed into independent faculties of pharmacy with four year teaching periods. the first head of the department of pharmacy at jagiellonian university was professor karol dziewoński, followed by professor tadeusz estreicher, who took up the post in 1926. on the eve of world war ii, the krakow department of pharmacy had five separate units: applied pharmacy, pharmaceutical botany, pharmaceutical chemistry, zoology for pharmacy, and the garden of medical plants, a part of the jagiellonian university botanical garden. in 1947, the department of pharmacy, operating within the faculty of philosophy, was transformed into a separate faculty of pharmacy. professor marek gatty-kostyal was appointed as its first dean. the kraków faculty of pharmacy entered a new era on january 1, 1950, when, along with the faculty of medicine, it was separated from jagiellonian university and transformed into the academy of medicine. another milestone in the history of the kraków faculty of pharmacy was the formation of the department of medical analytic. this department, with a separate 5-year teaching program, began to function during the 1977/1978 academic year. the year in which the faculties of pharmacy and medicine were rejoined with jagiellonian university was of special importance to the faculty of pharmacy. among others, it was the first time the newly built seat of the department of pharmacy on ul. medyczna (medyczna street) was put to use. a modern didactic base and expanding set of research equipment allowed to extend its range of international academic and didactic cooperation as well as actively participate in the activities of the european association of faculties of pharmacy (eafp), of which the faculty is a member since 2000. one of the consequences of this change was a considerable increase in the number of elective courses offered. international programs carried out at the faculty also allow for a constant perfecting of the process of education. in 2006, by decision of the minister of science and higher education, the faculty of pharmacy was classified as a category - a institution. faculty of health sciences based on the decision of the jagiellonian university senate of 26 february 1997, with effect from 1 october 1997 department of nursing became the department of health. with effect from 1 october 2007 renamed the department of the faculty of health sciences. faculty of health sciences continues the rich tradition of training nurses. in poland it was launched in 1911 in kraków at the school of nursing, which was transformed in 1925 in the university school of nurses and hygienists. its operation was interrupted by world war ii, after which, the school has resumed operations, educating nurses at the level of secondary vocational education. teaching at the master's level nurses started in kraków in 1975 creating a department of nursing, medical university, who as part of the college of medicine, he returned to alma mater in 1993 jagellonica institute of nursing after the creation of the department continued to teach master's level nurses, and in 1998 began - first in poland - conducting classes in the two-cycle. department also continues the tradition of training for midwives, which was launched in kraków in 1780 in college physics, faculty of medicine, jagiellonian university school of the crown. in 1895, midwifery education has been excluded from school and taken over by imperial royal college of midwives, and after independence, the national school of midwives. in 2005, the faculty of health sciences was held on the first call for obstetric studies degree. in the same year was renamed the institute of nursing and midwifery. the activities of the department also refers to the idea over a century, and today the interdisciplinary knowledge that is public health. division continues for the school of public health set up in 1991 as an inter-departmental unit of the medical university and the jagiellonian university. the first polish school of public health was established with the support of the ministry of health and welfare and with the advice of representatives of the french ministry of health. school team in 1991 began an intensive education and a variety of activities aimed at preparing managers for the modern needs of a changing polish health care system. in 1997, the school became the institute of public health. in subsequent years, the institute conducted a variety of post-graduate diploma in hospital management, postgraduate studies for people working in managerial positions in health institutions, the pharmaceutical inspectors and studies for those carrying out tasks in the field of health programs. the institute also conducts training at the direction of public health, specialty health control, as well as international masters europubhealth. department of emergency medicine by teaching in the field

direction of public health and in 2007 was the first recruitment for medical emergency, as a distinct field of study. 15 january 2009 department of emergency medicine found separated from the structure of the institute of public health and transformed into an independent unit of the department. the faculty of health sciences since 1998, is also conducted training at the direction of physiotherapy. in connection with the malopolska region to improve the quality of education in the medical professions, in 2001 in kraków is an agreement between the małopolska voivodship and the jagiellonian university on joint action to amend the system of education in the profession of physiotherapy techniques. as a result of this agreement led to increased recruitment for the department faculty, liquidated medical school no. 4 in kraków, and education as a whole took the department to adopt against the study of academic staff. institute of physiotherapy focusing unit underlying the teaching and scientific research for this direction was established in 2006. the creation of the department was responding to a new socio-economic situation in poland in connection with health care reform and the new labor market. these changes necessitated the establishment of priorities in education. a new look for the training of health workers was the result of several factors: a new management philosophy in health care, the transition from medical care to health promotion and disease prevention, a strong emphasis on primary health care and medical technology development significantly. it was necessary to meet the demand for skilled health workers who had to fill managerial positions of high and middle level, and ensure the supply of specialized medical personnel (nurses, physiotherapists, midwives, emergency workers, sanitary inspectors). this was possible due to set out by the university and the marshal of malopolska agreements on joint action concerning changes to education systems in some medical professions education. first, in 1999, involved the training of nurses, the next (described above), 2001 related training of physiotherapists, and the last
