The Department of neurology by the decision of the Scientific Council of the Semipalatinsk medical Institute was established in 1958. the First head was Igor Dmitriev – the author of many scientific works, the main focus of which was the study of reflex mechanisms of thermoregulation in disorders of cerebral circulation. In addition to the head of the staff of the Department consisted of only one assistant – Belyakov, M. I. At this time the Department was based at the regional hospital (formerly visionstar), with over 40 beds Department. There were lectures for students, practical classes and scientific work.
