Erik Gerhard Schytte (1728-1808) was born in Vega in Northern Norway. He read theology at the University of Copenhagen, but like other Norwegian theological students at the time, he also took an interest in medicine and attended lectures in the field. During some periods, Schytte substituted for the city medical officer in Bergen. In 1754 he graduated in theology in Copenhagen and went on to become a vicar in various parishes in Northern Norway, working partly as a vicar and partly as a medical practitioner and turning his vicarage into a kind of hospital. He was the first person with a medical education who practiced medicine in Northern Norway. For his contribution to the medical services in that region, he was appointed honorary professor by the government in Copenhagen. Schytte was widely known as the Aesculap of Northern Norway.
