What it is

This six-year degree gives a complete medical education with extra emphasis on preventive health care, and it is taught in English alongside a Czech-language track that has run since the early 1990s. Clinical training is central, which is why international students are expected to learn enough Czech by the second year to talk with patients and hospital staff. Graduates receive the MUDr. title, which permits practice in all medical disciplines and is recognised internationally, and the faculty is accredited for American students.

Taught on five campuses
