The regular meetings of Slovak and Czech teachers from institutes and departments
providing education of chemical and biochemical disciplines at the Medical faculties
are organized more than 50 years. The first meeting of teachers assembled by Prof. A.F.
Richter in Prague was already in 1952.
Primarily these meetings were focused only to the problems of education of chemistry and
biochemistry. The way of interviewing and entrance tests, level of candidates, postgradual
study as well as contemporary methods of education (e-learning) are also discussed.
In the last years our conferences are also place for presentation of research activities
of institutes. The discussions at the meetings and reciprocal deal with practical experiences
are the big contribution to the work of teachers, scientists and doctorands of
participated institutes.
From 20 th to 21 st May 2010 pedagogical conference of Slovak and Czech chemical and biochemical
teachers was organized in Modra by Institute of Medical Chemistry, Biochemistry
and Clinical biochemistry, Medical School, Comenius University in Bratislava. This conference
gave the chance to young colleagues to present the scientific programmes of
individual institutes as well as parts of their own research.
