Charles University Hradec, Hradec Králové

The Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové started its educational activities on November 25, 1945 as the first Charles University faculty in East Bohemia. Initially, the Hradec Králové faculty was established as a part of the Prague Faculty of Medicine.

Due to their co-operation and assistance it was immediately possible to establish both a high quality teaching staff and an effective departmental structure in Hradec Králové. For its entire existence, the Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove has been among the top Czech university institutions.
