[Supplementary education of physicians working in education on the Polish Territory (up to 1939)].
With the progress in social medicine and hygiene, it became necessary to create a school of medicine. It was in 1900 when this subject was discussed for the first time in Poland, firstly on the Convention of Polish Medicinal Doctors and Naturalists and then on a conference organized by the Warsaw Society of Hygiene. During those meetings a set of rules was created. In 1907 Wernicki, M.D. gave a few lectures, but this was left without any important continuation. In 1907 at another conference of the Warsaw Society of hygiene, Matylda Biehler, M.D. introduced a project of supplemental course of school fo hygiene for doctors.First course took place after publication of report by S. Kopczyński which showed how horrible the health care in schools was. Lectures were given by professionals, participants had to pay only a symbolic fee. In 1929 there existed an opinion that in all institutions there should be paediatricians who take care of children under 14. In the thirties many medicine schools and organizations organized a lot of supplementary courses. After that we did not find any mentions about latest courses.
