General Medicine (MUDr.)

The curriculum of the study programme is identical to the one pursued by Czech medical students, apart from being taught in English. It conforms to the European Union standards. The six-year General Medicine programme has also been accredited by the USA, Canada and Malaysia, to name only those countries most students come from. During the first three years of the programme, students have compulsory classes in the Czech language. A good grasp of Czech is required for communication with patients and with colleagues in the wards, such as nurses, who may speak only Czech. The teaching method is traditional and most medical schools in Central Europe are conducted the same way. This study programme is using the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), thus allowing the students to spend part of their studies abroad at our partner universities in Europe. The qualification objectives also include the preparation for post-graduate training and for the needs of the health service.

The first four semesters of the General Medicine study program encompass mostly theoretical subjects (anatomy, biology, biochemistry, biophysics, histology, physiology). Preclinical subjects (pathology, microbiology, pharmacology) are taught in semesters 5-7. Instruction in clinical subjects begins in the following semesters (internal medicine,surgery, pediatrics, obstetric and gynecology, neurology) together with subjects connected with public health care (social medicine, medical law). The whole sixth year is devoted to bedside training in internal medicine, surgery, gynaecology and obstetrics. The study is concluded with final state examinations in internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, preventive medicine and pediatrics.

The studies are concluded by the Final State Examinations from Paediatrics, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, and Epidemiology, Law and Social Medicine.

After the last Final State Examination and Graduation ceremony the students are bestowed an academic degree “Doctor of Medicine” (abbreviated as “MUDr.”).

General Medicine programme has recently received the accreditation from the Association of Medical Schools in Europe (AMSE), which confirms the high quality and European standards of medical studies in Olomouc.

Our graduates are fully competitive physicians, scoring high in USMLE tests and securing jobs all over the world from the USA to Japan. They are fully prepared for the needs of the health care systems, they can carry out the profession of a medical doctor in any medical speciality as well as in research facilities etc. They are also fully prepared to carry on with their studies on the post-graduate level (in Ph.D. programmes).

All applicants for the master degree programme must sit our entrance examination, which consists of a test paper in Biology, Chemistry and Physics or Mathematics.
Applicants, who are not native English speakers, will also be required to either produce a certificate of English proficiency (Cambridge Exam minimum FCE, IELTS minimum score 6, or TOEFL minimum score 87, psychometric test, PTE academic minimum score 59) or take our own English test. Applicants who submit a proof that their secondary or tertiary education is/was carried out in English will be exempt from the language test.
