Erasmus+

The Secondary Medical School and Higher Vocational Medical School Brno, Merhautova, is actively involved in the Erasmus+ programme, which supports international cooperation and mobility in education. Through this programme, students and teachers have the opportunity to participate in internships and work experience abroad, which contributes to their professional and personal development.

In recent years, an increasing number of students have been participating in practical placements abroad, usually in specialised medical institutions. These experiences allow students to gain new competences, experience a different working environment and culture, and improve their language skills. Teachers are also involved in the programme through professional courses and shadowing in foreign workplaces, which naturally enriches teaching and introduces new methods into the educational process. Popular destinations include Austria, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, Malta and others.

Participation in the Erasmus+ programme not only improves the quality of education but also strengthens the school's position in the international context. Thanks to these activities, the school promotes openness, innovation and prepares students for a successful career in the dynamic and globalised world of health care, not only within the Czech Republic.

When involved in the Erasmus+ project, the best students of each programme or course of our school take a month-long internship abroad, e.g. in Italy, Spain, and Germany. The internship is preceded by 40 hours of language and cultural training in English, Italian, Spanish or German.
