abstract: Teaching and scientific activities were discussed of the outstanding surgeons and internists lecturing on dermatology and venereology at the Academic Faculty of Medicine existing in the years 1809-1816 and at the Faculty of Medicine of The Warsaw University closed by the tsarist authorities after the November Insurrection in 1831. The academic school of medicine could begin its work after a pause of 25 years in 1857 as The Medical-Surgical Academy transformed in 1862 into The Medical Faculty of The Central School closed definitely in 1869 when a Russian university was founded in its place. Those who rendered the greatest services in the development of dermatology and venereology in Warsaw were, among others, Józef Czekierski, Andrzej Janikowski, Antoni Le Brun, and Polikarp Girsztowt, and in the first place Bronisław Chojnowski who raised it to the rank of a clinical discipline.
