International Sakharov Environmental Institute of Belarusian State University

 The Chair of Environmental Medicine was established on October 1, 1995 (Order No. 13-0). In order to streamline the structure and staff of the chairs of the Faculty of Radiobiology and Environmental Medicine and bring the names of the chair into line with their existing functional load, the Chair of Environmental Medicine was renamed the Chair of Environmental Medicine and Radiobiology (Order No. 86a-O dated on 30.08.2000).

The chair provides training in the following specialties::
