The faculty came into existence as an independent faculty of pediatric medicine in 1953 when pediatrics was separated off from what was then the Faculty of Medicine.

Graduates of the faculty are equipped for careers in any branch of medicine. They are well prepared especially for careers in family medicine, but also for specialized pediatric fields and other areas where a continuous and dynamic developmental view of the patient is essential. The teaching programme involves theoretical and pre-clinical subjects (1st to 3rd year) followed by the clinical disciplines (4th to 6th year). Every foreign student is obliged to pass an examination from the Czech language at the end of his/her
