I learnt about the Second Faculty and luckily I got the invitation from Professor Jan Trka. I met him last year in Kyoto, where he attended a conference at our medical faculty, and he agreed I would arrive the next summer.
I have learnt much observing what he does and how the clinic works. I like seeing the hospital from inside, as I haven't seen much of it so far in Japan. Most importantly I have seen paediatric patients, which we do from the fifth year.
I noticed there are more female than male doctors in Motol; is it because Japanese doctors are very busy, so women choose this job less frequently?
I also travelled, I visited Český Krumlov, a beautiful historic site with the theatre in gardens and I'm planning other trips, but the Czech Republic offers much more than one can make within one month.
Sure I recommend other students to spend an internship here.
