What former program participants said . . .
Karel, 2005:
“In Children Memorial Hospital I saw the most advanced health care and
supportive medicine and I learned a lot about leukemia and tumors
in children. . . . I enjoyed working with the enthusiastic doctors, they and
the nurses showed me a highly professional but also friendly side of medicine.
. . I arranged professional and personal contacts with experts for my future
life.”
Lucie, 2006:
“The ethical part of this training was the most interesting . . .The
physicians were great and allowed me to listen to their consultations
with the parents, children and other family members . . . Getting to know how
everything is organized abroad and being able to compare it to our system is
more important for us than expanding the academic skills I think.”
Ladislav, 2006:
“I met many interesting people . . . They gave me many new ideas about
research and the doctor-patient partnership."
