The CHP Program actually gave me the necessary knowledge to set even more precise and clearer goals in terms of my medical education while giving me the opportunity to decide which specialties are better for me and which aren't suitable for me. I had really learned a lot! Besides loads of medical knowledge, I also learned about important aspects of doctors' careers like balancing private life and successful career, time management and important characteristics every doctor should possess. All three of my mentors, Dr. Bartošova, Dr. Vrabcova and Dr. Pavličkova were giving their best to teach me and show me as much as possible in just one week. The amount of time which they devote to me was above my expectations and they truly had treated me as their fellow colleague. While being more than professional, they had also created warm and friendly teaching atmosphere and were always happy to answer my questions (which I had a lot :-)). The departments chosen for tutorials are really suitable for us to get brief introduction in other medical fields and experience the cooperation between different departments. The tutorials I found the most interesting was suturing techniques as I also gained valuable practical skills. For Ms. Barbora and Daniel, I have nothing but gratitude as they were being supportive, motivating and inspiring throughout my whole week. They truly encouraged us to get the most of our experience and were always there with helpful pieces of advice for us.

Who can be in your specialty mentoring team?

MUDr. Petr Libý, Ph.D.

Neurosurgery is an art similar to playing a musical instrument: You have to possess certain predispositions, but manual dexterity and a supportive learning environment are the key components. My internship at the Department of Neurology was an astonishing experience, during which I came to the definitive conclusion that this is the specialty I want to pursue. My profession is specific because it i...

Pulmonology is an exciting field that is evolving all the time. You need to have a knowledge of internal medicine, radiology, oncology, microbiology, urgent care medicine, and cardiology , as well as manual skills for working with an endoscope.

When I graduated, I started working in the University Hospital in Motol in the Specialized Center of Anesthesiology, Resuscitation, and Intensive Medicine and soon specialized in intensive medicine in the pediatric resuscitation inpatient room.
