medical university celebrated its 70th anniversary, and in 2011 the university celebrated its 80th anniversary as a higher educational institution. it so happened that the capital institution of higher medical education - the 2nd kyiv state medical institute - was neglected by researchers of the history of medicine in ukraine. the institution is mentioned neither in encyclopedias, nor in reference books, nor in the national museum of medicine of ukraine. by the way, the state archive of the city of kiev contains the passport of the 2nd kiev state medical institute dated december 1939, and the archives of the kiev regional clinical hospital keep the historical note on the 85th anniversary of the first soviet hospital (1862-1947, #1, ed., #19) which gives sufficient information on the history and activity of this higher medical institution, whose glorious traditions are nowadays continued by the bukovinian state medical university. chernivtsi theater square, administrative building of bsmu kyiv medical production institute (1931-1936) - 2nd kyiv state medical institute (1936-1944) - chernovtsy state medical institute (1944-1997) - bukovinian state medical academy (1997-2005) - bukovinian state medical university - this is the brief history of the foundation and development of the newly formed in 1931 higher educational institution and its transformation to the present bukovinian state medical university (bgmu). from its foundation until that time, under the influence of various circumstances, the institution changed both its name and its location, but it never changed its status of a higher educational institution and never interrupted its activity of training highly qualified physicians. kyiv period of the institution's activity (1931-1944) in october 1944 the second kyiv state medical institute was transferred for further work to the city of chernovtsy. without receiving a new name, the capital institute relocated to chernivtsi continued to operate for a month and a half as the 2nd kyiv state medical institute in chernivtsi. only at the end of november 1944 the 2nd kyiv state medical institute was given the name "chernivtsi state medical institute" and a new seal was given to certify the official documents of its activity. thus, the kyiv period ended and the bukovinian period of the institution's activity began. change of name bukovinian state medical university (bgmu) was created by reorganization of the bukovinian state medical academy on the basis of the order of cabinet of ministers of ukraine from 02.03.2005 46-p and order of the ministry of health of ukraine from 15.03.2005 110 "about reorganization of the bukovinian state medical academy. academy (bgma) was created according to the decree of kmu from 04.04.1997
