What Lékařská fakulta v Hradci Králové Univerzity Karlovy does

Lékařská fakulta v Hradci Králové Univerzity Karlovy (Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové, Charles University) is a public medical education and research institution established in 1945 and operating as a constituent faculty of Charles University, the oldest university in Central Europe (founded 1348). The faculty is headquartered at Šimkova 870, Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, and serves approximately 1,800 students through four degree programs: a six-year Master's in General Medicine, a five-year Master's in Dentistry, and Bachelor's degrees in General Nursing and Midwifery, taught in both Czech and English. Roughly 20% of the student body is international, recruited via entrance examinations administered in Czech Republic, Qatar, UAE, Japan, Turkey, and the UK, and online through the Scio proctoring platform.

The faculty operates dedicated research infrastructure including a BBMRI-affiliated biobank, a vivarium, an automated Metafer scanning system used for Comet assay and chromosomal aberration analysis, a Zeiss AxioImager.Z2 fluorescence microscope with digital camera, and a cell-culture laboratory. Clinical training is delivered through the adjacent Fakultní nemocnice HK (University Hospital Hradec Králové), with which the faculty jointly operates a new campus under construction and scheduled for completion in 2026. Senior academic staff include figures such as Prof. MUDr. Lenka Borská, Ph.D. (Head of the Institute of Preventive Medicine) and the incoming Dean, Prof. MUDr. Petr Hejna, Ph.D. (elected for 2026–2030).

The faculty is funded primarily through Czech government subsidies for teaching, research, and operations, supplemented by application fees (2,500 CZK), tuition from English-taught international medical and dental students (specific amounts not publicly disclosed), external research grants (AZV, COOPERATIO, BIPOLE/OP JAK, Erasmus+, WELLBEING), rental of premises, and revenue from continuing-education programs. Recent strategic activity includes new international partnerships (Addis Ababa University, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, SUNY Upstate Medical University, Trinity College Dublin, GlycanAge, Epigenetic Clock Development Foundation, Contipro), continuing cooperation with Mayo Clinic, and the launch of a 10-part public-facing online course, Akademie zdravého životního stylu. Awards include the Order of the White Lion (1st Class, Civil Division) awarded to Prof. Roman Prymula in 2020 and the Golden Medal of the Slovak Medical Society.
