Education

The Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion takes an important part in pregraduate and postgraduate education of university degree holders and secondary school graduates in health service. In the framework of the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Hematology of the 1st Faculty of Medicine of Charles University and IHBT, hematology is taught at the Faculty of General Medicine of Charles University.
Within postgraduate education of physicians in the field of hematology and transfusion medicine, a pre‑specialization course took place (in a distance form) at IHBT, in cooperation with the 2nd and 3rd Faculty of Medicine of Charles University, the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen and the Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové in April 2020 and, just like in the past, IHBT was involved in the organization of specialization courses in this field. Within education of university graduates and other specialists in the field of clinical hematology and transfusion service, 2 training modules were postponed for epidemiological reasons. Specialization courses took place in this field at IHBT in June and November. Furthermore, a number of individual internships took place in IHBT in the framework of postgraduate studies
In 2020, within continuous lifelong learning, 145 IHBT staff members attended events organized both in the Czech Republic and abroad. 114 IHBT staff members took part in educational events in the Czech Republic, and 31 physicians and other research workers attended congresses and conferences abroad. Owing to the epidemiological situation, most events took place virtually.
