Školovanje konjskih vidara, kuršmida i veterinara na Veterinarskom fakultetu u Beču i drugim gradovima u današnjoj Austriji

U radu je prikazan razvoj veterinarskog školstva s posebnim osvrtom na današnji Ve¬terinarski fakultet u Beču, jer je nekada većina naših veterinara najčešće završavala fakultete u Beču, Budimpešti, Pragu, Lavovu i Italiji. Studij raznih oblika veterinarstva u liječnika i kirurga odvijao se na 4 načina u obliku: kraćih tečajeva iz veterinarstva, redovitog studija „veterinar¬stvo,“ poslijediplomskog studija odabranih liječnika i kirurga te posebnog oblika poslijediplomskog studija za medicinare i kirurge. U Bečkom veterinarskom zavodu bile su sljedeće kategorije učenika: obični kovači, poljodjelci, pastiri, lovci i ovčari, časnici, budući okružni liječnici i okružni ranarnici, slušači za pregled mesa i stoke, kuršmidi i pravi veterinari. Burnu povijest razvitka i preobrazbi Veterinarskog fakulteta u Beču prikazana je kroz nekoliko faza do današnjeg dana i to od: 1766.-1777. g., 1777.- 1795. g., 1795.-1808. g., 1808.-1812. g., 1812.- 1850. g., 1850.-1896. g., 1897.-1905. g., 1905.- 1919. g. i od 1912.-1976. g. do danas. This paper presents the development of veterinary education with special regard to the current Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Vienna, since the majority of our veterinarians graduated from faculties at universities in Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Lviv and in Italy. The study of different veterinary specialties attended by physicians and surgeons was performed in four different ways: short veterinary medicine courses, the regular study of veterinary medicine, postgraduate study of selected physicians and surgeons, and special postgraduate study for physicians and surgeons. At the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, there were following categories of candidates for: ordinary blacksmiths, farmers, shepherds hunters and sheep keepers, officers, future county physicians and county healers, workers for meat and livestock inspection, veterinary assistants and veterinarians. The turbulent history of development and transformation of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna is presented through several phases until 1976, as follows: 1766– 1777, 1777–1795, 1795–1808, 1808–1812, 1812– 1850, 1850–1896, 1897–1905, 1905–1919 and from 1912–1976 untill today.
