[Influence of the Strasbourg School of Health (1794) on the creation of the Imperial School of the Military Health Service].

The two-hundredth anniversary of the creation of the School of Health in Strasbourg was celebrated on December 3rd, 1994. Early in its history, the School also trained officers in the military health service. The close relationship between civilians and the military at the School led to the creation of the Imperial School of the Military Health Service which opened its doors in Strasbourg in 1856. Teaching was unfortunately halted by the war in 1870 and the school did not reopen until it was transfered to Lyon in 1888 where the former organization of the Imperial School of Strasbourg was maintained. "Si la faculté de Strasbourg a emprunté plus d'un de ses professeurs à la médecine militaire, combien celle-ci, en même temps, ne lui a-t-elle pas fourni de disciples?"
