Its Faculty of Medicine offers a six-year English-taught General Medicine programme with a strong reputation for innovative pedagogy and modern facilities. Clinical training takes place at the University Hospital Brno (Bohunice campus), a 1,900-bed teaching hospital that is Moravia's primary referral centre, and at St.
Anne's University Hospital, a centre of excellence for cardiovascular medicine and neuroscience. Masaryk's medical curriculum has been modernised with early clinical skills training, simulation centre access, and integrated organ-system teaching.
