Workshops
Basic suturing
Knife2Skin is the surgical society for international students at LFHK (Charles University in Hradec Králové region). Our journey began in 2019 when our previous presidents established this committee with the aim of promoting more surgical activities for our students.
We identified the importance of improving the practical skills of our students and engaging them in surgery-related activities. This approach allows more individuals to gain a better understanding of the work of surgeons, enhance their skills, and explore potential career paths in the field of surgery.
