The Chair of Neurology at the Vinnytsia Medical Institute was established in 1935, based on the Regional Psychological and Neurological Hospital named after academic A. I. Yushenko. Professor V. L. Beder — the representative of Kiev’s neurological school — became the first head of the Chair. The Chair had been closed down during The Second World War period at the time of occupation, however it was restored as soon as the city was liberated.

After the death of prof. V. l. Bederev in 1946, V. B. Polishchuk became the temporary head of the chair and was succeeded in 1947 by the pupil of academic A. M. Grinshtein – P. M. Alperovich, PhD, who served as a military doctor and had been the head of the neurological department at the war hospital, as well as military neurologist. At the time, among the staff as assistants, the professor worked with A. P. Barabash, A. I. Zabara, R. Y. Mamichev and V. B. Polishchuk. Later Mamichev and Polishchuk left the chair and after the sudden death of A. I. Zabara in 1951, the chair staff was reinforced by V. D. Bilik (since 1951) and Y. V. Pishel (since 1954), as well as assistant professor Z. M. Pshenichnaya (1959-1966) and associate professor of the neurosurgical course Y. I. Kopyakovskyi (1963-1965).

Between the 1960’s and 1970’s, due to the growing number of students, establishing the Department of Pediatrics and the Postgraduate Department, the Chair of Neurology was joined by the new teaching staff: graduates of clinical studies — A. I. Demchuk (1966), A. G. Korniychuk (1966), T. I. Petrova (1967) and G. A. Starinets (1975) — as well as practicing doctors — Y. I. Pshuk (1971) and V. I. Burlya (1973), S. P. Moskovko (1979). In 1967 by the order of the Ukrainian Ministry of Health associate professor Y. V. Pishel was placed as a director of the Kharkov Research Institute of Neurology and Psychiatry named after Protopopov.

In 1962-1963 at the Chair were organised post-graduate courses focusing on children neurology (associate professor Y. V. Pishel) and neurosurgery (associate professor Y. I. Kopyakovskyi). Associate professor V. I. Burlya was the head of neurosurgery course in the period between 1973 and 1994. In 1968 there began to take place lectures on medical genetics and in 1979 A. G. Korniychuk became the head of the post-graduate course on neurology and reflexology also taught by G. A. Starinets and O. P. Koval.

In 1986, on the basis of this course, the new Neurology and reflexology faculty was established for the Postgraduate Department. The head of the course became associate professor A. G. Korniychuk, joined by the teaching staff: associate professor G. A. Starinets, associate professor O. V. Zheliba, V. D. Kirichenko, O. P. Koval, A. N. Brodiy. Now the faculty teaches interns and is also responsible for pre-assessment training for neurologists from all around the country.

As was mentioned above, Pavel Makarovich Alperovich became the head of the Chair in 1947. After his retirement in 1977, prof. Alperovich continued to work for the Chair as a consultant until 1988.  He passed away at the age of 87, in 1995, leaving behind a great scientific legacy and remaining in the memories as a great clinical neurologist.

In 1977, Vasyliy Danilovich Bilyk became the head of the chair, at the same time being the vice-chancellor (1971-1974) and chancellor (1974-1988) of the institute. From 1988 to 2005, V. D. Bilyk fully dedicated himself to the department in the neurological clinic. He was a laureate of the Ukrainian Prize of the State (1983), academic of the International Academy of Integrative Anthropology (1992), honored member of the Ukrainian High School (1979), honored citizen of Vinnytsia (1998). V. D. Bilyk passed away on 12 february 2006 after a prolonged illness. Many neurologists and other specialists in the medical field have the honor to call themselves the pupils of Vasiliy Danilovich Bilyk.

Currently, there are 11 members of staff working at the Chair of  Neurology with Neurosurgery course: head of the Chair, prof. S. P. Moskovko, PhD, head of the curriculum department associate professor L. N. Zheliba, PhD, associate professor A. I. Demchuk, PhD, associate professor in neurosurgical course V. M. Olhov, PhD, associate professor N. N. Smolko, PhD, associate professor in neurosurgical course S. Y. Voloschuk, PhD, associate professor D. G. Smolko, PhD, assistants professor: T. I. Petrova, PhD, G. S. Moskovko, PhD, O. A. Gordeichuk, PhD, A. V. Kostuchenko. Additionally, there is staff responsible for the postgraduate training for neurologists (including interns) — associate professors A. G. Korniychuk and G. A. Starinets, and associate professor N. G. Starinets.
