African students

My 3 week stay in Charles university faculty of medicine was a transformative and immersive experience, providing deep insights into both the academic rigor and cultural nuances of medical education in Europe. From the moment I stepped onto the campus, I was impressed by the state-of-the-art facilities and the vibrant, scholarly atmosphere. Upon arrival, I was struck by the hospital's modern facilities and the efficiency of the medical staff. Everyone was warm and willing to help. Beyond the classroom, my time at the medical school was enriched by the diverse student body and the cultural exchanges that ensued. Interacting with peers from various backgrounds broadened my perspective on global healthcare challenges and solutions. Additionally I would like to thank Monika, Eva and Martina who have helped ease our transition and make our stay as memorable as possible. My stay thus far not only honed my medical knowledge and skills but also deepened my appreciation for the global medical community and the importance of cross-cultural competence in healthcare.

Czech Heart Foundation financially supported the accommodation of 3 Ethiopian medical students as in previous years.

A great signal that the world is returning to normal after the pandemic, even in Africa. At the beginning of August, 3 students from Ethiopia came to the University Hospital Hradec Králové for an internship. They are doing a 2-month internship in different departments of the hospital.

Another adventure for two Sudanese students ends. International Internship in Prague at IKEM is over. Our program is a meaningful way for a better understanding of the two cultures and the effective transfer of knowledge available to Czech physicians and healthcare professionals in Europe. We wish Nihad and Hanaa to do everything they learned in their homeland. It was short but beautiful. 

Teshome Alene and Su'ad Mohammed have started their third week of internship in Fakultní nemocnice Hradec Králové. After attaching to Department of Surgery and Department of Gynecology, this week they are obtaining clinical experience at Radiology and Nuclear medicine. Good luck and enjoy your stay here Teshome and Suad.

Life is like a puzzle. And internship at IKEM in Prague may be important part. Students from Sudan Mohammed Magzoub and Mustafa M ELhassan already know about it. They have first week successfully behind. 

The first two Sudanese medical students will arrive for one month internship to IKEM hospital in Prague mid August. Both are among the most talented students of the Medical Faculty in Khartoum, Sudan. During their stay at IKEM, they will spend two weeks working in a lab on one of the existing projects. Besides, this should help them with their first scientific publication. The third week of their stay will be dedicated to cardiology (Department of Cardiogy) under the guidance of Michal Pazderník, MD. The fourth week, the students will be able to choose department upon their preference and discretion at IKEM (Department of Nephrology, Department of Diabetology, Department of Cardiac Surgery). Thanks to the Director of IKEM, Ales Herman, MD, PhD., students will have free accommodation at the hospital dormitory throughout their stay.
