Faculty of Medicine Mission

The Faculty of Medicine is a modern educational institution, providing teaching in medical and non-medical health programs. Even though it is the youngest medical faculty in the Czech Republic with an accredited study program in general medicine, it is also an important educational base for many non-medical health professions in the Czech Republic, where it offers education at bachelor's, subsequent master's and doctoral degrees. It is dynamically developing all its study programs, both in the Czech language and in selected programs in English and Italian. The main task of the faculty in this area is to educate professional experts in their fields and to equip graduates for professional life also in terms of personality and empathy. The faculty creates a welcoming but demanding study environment for students with an individual human approach, honouring academic values, traditional ethical and professional standards and social principles.

The Faculty of Medicine is also a scientific and research institution supporting a wide range of scientific and research teams with the aim of achieving a sustainable level of excellence in various areas of human health care. The basis for dynamic growth in the scientific and research fields is mutual collaboration and good communication between individual academics across various medical and non-medical disciplines. The faculty's goal in this area is to build a strong and self-confident scientific research institution with broad involvement of students, academics and researchers and to consolidate its position as an important partner in the region.

The Faculty of Medicine also emphasizes a third role in society within the framework of lifelong education in the field of health care, contract research and the transfer of knowledge of science and research into the application sphere. Through its activities, the faculty participates in the development of the level of health care in the region, not only through intensive cooperation with health care institutions, but also through an active role in solving problems with social impact.

The faculty also focuses on the development of international cooperation, through contractual international relations of the faculty, mobility of students and employees, which is perceived as a valuable motivator and driving force for the development of the faculty.

The goal of the individual activities of the Faculty of Medicine is to build a stable institution with a strong educational, scientific-research and personnel background with the support of all members of the faculty's academic community – both academics and students, and the development of the faculty's infrastructure. Building a strong self-confident background will make it possible to provide teaching at a top level, to achieve high-quality scientific and research outputs and to make the faculty attractive as a partner in many areas of activity.
