After more than 20 years Slovak military doctors have the opportunity to pursue their military medicine studies at the Medical Faculty of Charles University in Hradec Králové again. The deal is based on the Agreement on SVK Armed Forces Professional Soldiers' University Education at the Faculty of Military Medicine of the University of Defence Brno, which was signed between the Slovak and Czech MODs. The SVK Armed Forces have experienced shortages of doctors in the long term and Slovakia lacks an education establishment that would specialise in military medicine. Since the foundation of an independent Slovak Republic the ranks of military medical personnel have been replenished exclusively by recruiting graduates of the medical faculties at civilian universities.
The General Military Medicine study programme is provided by the Faculty of Military Medicine at the University of Defence Brno in collaboration with the Medical Faculty of Charles University in Hradec Králové. The first successful applicants from among the SVK REP citizens can start their studies in Hradec Králové, beginning from the 2017/2018 academic year. This education will be delivered in the form of a 6-year full-time study of General Military Medicine. Students will pursue their studies as Regular soldiers under Preparatory State Service, while having the status of cadets, ranked 1st Degree Private. The cadets will receive training to perform the Temporary State Service duties of the Officers' Crops, and will assume the appointment of doctor in the H10 Military Medicine MOS.
To meet the admission requirements for the Faculty of Military Medicine, applicants must also be accepted and enlisted for the General Medicine study programme at the Faculty of Medicine of Charles University in Hradec Králové. Over the course of their studies, the cadets will gain two university diplomas. In parallel with the General Medicine study at the international civilian university, they will be following the Military Programme and the Military Specialised Programme at the military university abroad, which are aimed at delivering military medicine, medical support in the field, medical logistics and the organisation of the Military Medical Service. The SVK MOD seeks to attract more doctors already during their university studies, and will also have them trained for the performance of the medical occupation under specific military conditions.
