Charles University in Prague dates back to 14th century (est. 1348). Faculty of Medicine, being one of four founding faculties now teaches arround 2500 medical students.
On early request, virtually any building, department or clinic can be seen. Usual schedule of the trip includes visits to major of the Medical Faculty and University buildings:
- Deans office
- The Teaching Hospital
- Institute of Physiology
- Department of Anatomy
- Faculty Children's Hospital
- Faust House (Students club)
- Faculty Library
- Carolinum
During Medical Study ...
Medschool resides in a green and quiet area just few minutes from Prague city center. Not forming a closed campus, Faculty and University buildings are integrated with the historical part of Prague.
Moving between various departments and clinics is thus quite nice experience, though in the beginning, some might be surprised by the caloric demands of this transportation: the two main areas (Hospital street and Albertov) are separated by about 150 steps. Soon this is regular activity is well tolerated and found very useful as a way how to stay fit and slim :-)
