Abstract
After a meeting on July 5, 1945 with the editorial staff of the Nový den paper, the first article by the medical student P. Paichl about universities in Pilsen under the title "For the establishment of a medical faculty in Pilsen" was published.
The decisive act for the preparations for the establishment of universities in Pilsen became the Commission of the District National Committee for the Establishment of the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen on 18 July 1945. Already on July 23, 1945, the Commission sent to the Minister of Education prof.
Dr. Zdeněk Nejedlý, a request to receive the Pilsen delegation.
On September 8, 1945, an audience of representatives of this Pilsen commission (Dr. Hrbek, Dr. Čech and P.
Paichl) took place at the Ministry of Education, where after discussing investments and staffing, Minister Z. Nejedlý confirmed that the government would discuss the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen.
On October 13, 1945, the Ministry of Education approved the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen. On October 26, 1945, the government approved the proposal of the Minister Z.
Nejedlý to establish the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen. On October 27, 1945, the decree establishing it was signed by President Dr.
Eduard Beneš. On Monday, December 6, 1945, the symbolic opening of lectures for the first year of the Faculty of Medicine took place in the cinema Universita (now abandoned Komorní divadlo).
On December 14, 1946, the first graduation at the Pilsen Medical Faculty took place, when a native of Kdyně, MUDr. Petr Raišl exactly one year after the founding of the first Pilsen university met the study requirements for the award of a medical diploma.
