With the proclamation of Ukraine’s independence on August 24, 1991 and the decision to create the national Armed Forces on December 6, 1991, many new problems arose, including the training of medical officers in Ukraine. In this regard, the issue of creating Ukraine’s own system of military medical education has become acute.

In pursuance of paragraph 5 of the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 16.10.1995 No. 820 “On the establishment of the Ukrainian Military Medical Academy”, implementation of paragraph 10 of the decision of the Board of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine dated 20.11.1996 No. 14 “On the results of admission to higher medical educational institutions of Ukraine in 1996”, the Concept for the establishment of the Faculty of Training of Doctors for the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the Bogomolets National Medical University was developed, the main purpose of which was to ensure the introduction of training of specialists in the specialties of professional direction “Medicine” and educational qualification levels “specialist” in the amount of up to 100 people in 1997 for further enrollment in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations.

In accordance with the Regulation “On the State Higher Educational Institution”, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 05.09.1996, No 1074 and by the Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine dated 24.04.1997, No 132, the Faculty for the doctors’ training for the Armed Forces Of Ukraine was established at the Bogomolets National Medical University.

The training of 100 students began on September 1, 1997. The training of doctors at the faculty was based on the system of education in state higher medical schools of Ukraine in the specialties “General Medicine”, “Medical and Preventive Care” with a term of study of 6 years and “Dentistry”, “Pharmacy” with a 5-year period of study.

The first enrollment of students to the faculty and its deployment was carried out by the then dean of the faculty – Colonel of the Medical Service V.V. Solyaryk, Deputy Deans, Professor (at that time assistant) O.M. Naumenko, Colonel of the Medical Service (at that time Major) O.I. Polezhaev and dispatcher of the Dean’s Office Y.S. Vakarenko.

From November 1999 to February 2005, the Faculty for the doctors’ training for the Armed Forces Of Ukraine was headed by Colonel of the Medical Service, Honored Worker of Health of Ukraine O.I. Shcherbak.

Under his leadership, the education of future military doctors was carried out by his deputies – Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor O.M. Naumenko, Candidate of Medical Sciences V.V. Moskalenko, Major of the Medical Service, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor O.M. Vlasenko, Dispatcher of the Dean’s Office Y.S. Vakarenko and Inspector of the Dean’s Office T.L. Tretyak.

The result of the activities of the Dean’s Office of the Faculty during this period was the implementation of the terms of the Concept of profiling of training at the Faculty of Training of Doctors for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This made it possible to raise to a qualitatively new level the effectiveness of undergraduate training of military medical specialists for the needs of the Armed Forces and other military formations of Ukraine.

Since the beginning of 2024, applicants for the first (bachelor’s) and second (master’s) levels of higher education in the specialty 227 “Therapy and Rehabilitation” of the medical and psychological faculty have been reassigned to the Faculty for the doctors’ training for the Armed Forces Of Ukraine.
