Royal Surgical Academy
The Royal Surgical Academy ( Danish Det Chirurgiske Akademi ) was founded in Copenhagen in 1785 . Its main purpose was to train military and civil surgeons . On January 1, 1842, it merged with the University of Copenhagen .
history
Peter Meyn built the academy under Denmark's Queen Juliane von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . As the successor to the Anatomical Theater , the Kongeligt Kirurgisk Akademi was opened on June 22, 1785 by Johan Christian Bodendick (1735-1818), the Queen's personal physician . In addition to the medical faculty associated with the university, the academy was the second medical training facility in the capital of Denmark-Norway . In contrast to the faculty, it had to take care of all public concerns of the health system . Free from the barber trade and thus from compulsory guilds , it gave surgery in Denmark and Norway the same scientific status as (younger) medicine . The 50-year dispute between craft surgeons and academic doctors was over. This was preceded by highly political disputes with changing majorities around Johann Friedrich Struensee , Ove Høegh-Guldberg and Crown Prince Friedrich . As in the faculty, the exam entitles the holder to practice medical and surgical professions.
“It is a phenomenon that surgery in two kingdoms [Denmark and Norway] enjoys the honor, respect and independence of medicine due; and that, on the other hand, in the duchies [Schleswig and Holstein], which are under the same government, they are degraded by beard shearing and the guild system and are dependent on medicine. The reason is that the surgeons there do not have an important civil office and the military offices are filled with the students of the academy. So the Holstein surgeons have no choice but the barber business, which has no access to medical and surgical practice. "
Teacher
The faculty consisted of three professors , two adjuncts , a chemistry teacher and four reserve surgeons . Except for medical pathology and therapy , all lectures at the academy and the faculty were read twice, anatomy and surgery in Danish and German .
students
Usually 8 medical students faced 130 surgical students . There were far more surgical than “medical” offices. From 1786 to 1808 55 physicians, 290 surgeons, 163 were pharmacists and 524 Woe mothers at the Academy and the Faculty looks into . Among the graduates was Ludwig Levin Jacobson .
Dentistry
The academy raised with Friedrich VI. Lawsuit when the medical faculty of the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (at that time in the Duchy of Holstein ) granted a dentist permission to practice dentistry after successfully passing the exam .
