2nd Faculty of Medicine is one of three medical faculties of the Charles University in Prague. It offers study programs in both Czech and English.
2nd Faculty of Medicine is closely interconnected with Motol University Hospital, within whose grounds it also resides. Most of the clinical subjects are taught in Motol University Hospital and majority of the incoming students get their placements there. A few departments reside in other Prague hospitals which the faculty cooperates with namely Bulovka University Hospital and Central Military Hospital, thus some of the students can have their placements there as well.

About the hospital
Motol Faculty Hospital is not only the biggest hospital in the Czech Republic, but also among the largest health care complexes in Europe.

A wide spectrum of departments covers almost every common problem in health care including specialized and super-specialized care. For many medical institutions in the Czech Republic, Motol serves as the place to turn to when presented a case that is beyond their capabilities. Thanks to significant specialization in some departments, especially the pediatric part, the Motol University hospital has become a destination for foreign patients as well. This has made it a medical institution known and appreciated world-wide, and one that fully satisfies world class demands for care of the patient.

The Motol University hospital also serves as a learning centre for the Charles University in Prague.
