Individual sections of teachers have been created according to the subject taught to facilitate effective research and broader collaboration.

The Latin section (PhDr. Pavel Nečas, Ph.D., Mgr. Eva Schánělová, Mgr. Klára Čebišová) published a textbook Latin Medical Terminology in 2016, which is repeatedly reprinted in Karolinum Press (2nd supplemented edition ready in 2024) and is used at several medical faculties in the Czech Republic as a core teaching material. In addition, Dr. Nečas from the Latin section collaborated with the ENT University Hospital Hradec Králové on the publication of a national textbook on Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, where he worked on the terminology of the ICD and operative medicine in ENT. The collaboration was not limited to the ENT University Hospital Hradec Králové, but also included the ENT University Hospital Ostrava and Brno.

The Czech section (Mgr. Dagmar Vrběcká, Ph.D. , Mgr. Klára Čebišová) participated in two international projects CZKey and CZECHONLINE in cooperation with the Centre for Language Education of Masaryk University in Brno. It is an e-learning platform of Czech language for foreigners. The platform is aimed at our students, who will be able to supplement their medical Czech with topics that are no longer covered in our patient-oriented teaching.

Our staff regularly actively participates in conferences Language Teaching at Medical Faculties, as well as in international conferences (CercleS conference, Semmelweis University, University of Crete).
