Hey Guys,
I found out that each of the Med Schools in the Czech Republic has a different Syllabus.
According to the syllabus Hradec Kralove seems to be easier than the Faculties in Prague.
Someone studies at Hradec Kralove and could tell me about the fail rates?
I dont want to miscredit HK, I just heard so much about the Faculty in Prague which has those enormous fail rates and looking for an alternative.
How about Pilsen and the other Faculties?
Thanks in advance,
****

One of the best sayings I've seen (for whatever it is worth):

"The difference between failure and success is you."

BTW, the nature of medicine is that it is highly competitive. At each and every rung up the ladder, the level of the competition increases very significantly.

Are you sure you want to go to the 'easiest' program? Will it adequately prepare you for real life?

I do not think that easiest means easy at all, there will still be an enormous difference between the easiest med schools in general and the easiest med school in CR.
I just would like to work in the EU later on, so the only thing I'm interested in is doing a medical program which is recognized within those member states - does not need to be a very famous or prestigious one.

I am in the second year at the Hradec Kralove faculty and although the Syllabi are different the course is not any easier. The classes are smaller though. Last year we had 70 students start the first year and 33 passed to the second year. We have 37 total because of four people who were interrupting during the last year. Interrupting is when a student decides to postpone the finals from their academic year until the end of the following year because of preparation, personal issues, etc...In prague at the first faculty i believe that most students make it to the second year since the gross anatomy is three semsters there and then the attrition begins. Here the toughest course for first year students is the histology. Its a combination of things such as study habits, getting use to the oral examinations, and motivation that make the difference in the first year of study. Coming form the US it toook me a few months to adjust socially as well. the main thing for me is to stay positive and take it one exam at a time. Hope this was helpful.

I think what you mean to say is, 'which faculty would i do best at', asin one faculty containing more biochem (which you may be good at), and less pharmacology (which you may be not so good at). You would need to look through each of the schools syllabus', and decide which one would best suit you.

Yes, I noticed that Hradec Kralove has just one year of Chemistry and Biochemistry, therefore I've been thinking that it may be easier compared to the schools in Prague... I hate Chemistry :-(
Anatomy would not be such a big problem I think, because like I said at Hradec Kralovec I would have Chem only in the second year.
But how about the dissections course, is there also dissections I and dissections II at HK?
And why is Histology such a big problem? I think it's the same as n Prague, isn't it?
Thx guys

there's no such thing as an 'easy' med school...
