[Professor MUDr. Frantisek Pór's School of Internal Medicine]

The article pays tribute to prof. MUDr. Frantisek Pór and his significant role in the development of internal medicine in Kosice and in Eastern Slovakia, where he actively pursued his profession from 1945 to 1971. He was the founder of the school of internal medicine in the proper sense of the word having laid down its organisation, therapy and prevention, training and research bases. His pupils, and the pupils of his pupils, have carried on his legacy till this day. This fact was remembered on the occasion of the 15th commemoration held by the Kosice Doctors' Association in his honour and memory and on the occasion of the upcoming 60th anniversary of the foundation of the Faculty of Medicine at Pavol Jozef Safárik University in Kosice.
