Doc. MUDr. Bohumil Seifert, Ph.D., First Faculty of Medicine

Dear students, welcome to the Institute of General Practice of the First Faculty of Medicine of the Charles University.

We shall meet in this seminar room in the fourth year, when I and my colleagues introduce you to our field in the course of a week-long course.

We will show you how interesting and varied is the work of a general practitioner

In a model classroom one floor lower, you will be able to test your clinical skills while supervised by our experienced assistants and in the same week, you will also visit real offices of some GPS, our trainers, during their actual operation.

In the sixth year, when you will be much more advanced in your studies, we will offer you a two-week internship in a GP’s office. There, you will be able to see how your knowledge and experience will fare face to face with actual patients.

Students tend to view this internship as one of the most enriching of all.

We are looking forward to meeting you!

MUDr. Vladimíra Balíková, First Faculty of Medicine

General practice is that part of medicine that is closest to people and we want to introduce it to you as such.

You will have a chance to, for instance, better appreciate the problems of life with a handicap in chronically ill and old people using our models of old age.

Instruction in primary care and general medicine is at the First Faculty of Medicine unique and serves as a model for other medical faculties in the Czech Republic.

Our teachers include important Czech general practitioners of international renown.

Our institute is also actively involved in international collaboration, just like the whole faculty,  which offers its students the broadest range of international internships at partner medical schools.

MUDr. Cyril Mucha, First Faculty of Medicine

Medics sometimes complain that there is too much theory and too little practice at the medical faculty.

Already in the fourth and sixth year can medics try in GP’s offices contact with patients in situations where there is not only one teacher per medic but also mostly one patient per medic

We have a network of collaborating teaching centers in general practice and medics who are interested in general practice or general medicine as such can, in addition to classical teaching days, already from for instance their second or third year come to GP’s offices and learn what medicine in practice looks like.

Karolina Jančarová, student of the First Faculty of Medicine

I have been coming to Dr. Mucha’s office for over a year to gain practical experience. It has been very helpful: I could try out a lot of things here and learn many common procedures

When we have practical training in a hospital. It is always classical hospital internship, so there is not as much contact with patients as here, in a GP’s office. This actual contact is what I like best. What I think is most important for me is communication with people.
