Our difference, our effort to make a difference!
First of all, we strive to make a difference with the education and scientific studies we provide. Then, we aim to ensure that the students we train are individuals who will make a difference in their professional lives. One of our most important values is to raise our graduates not as acceptable healthcare professionals, but as “preferred and sought-after” healthcare professionals.
We are in a big race and our first race is with ourselves… We do not have the luxury of repeating the day before. We have to move forward step by step. To be better, to be more beautiful, to be more successful… However, our goal is to be among the best Health Sciences Faculties in the world at the end of these steps.
We are in the process of change and transformation;
We have broken many new ground in the 2019-20 academic year with our young and dynamic staff and competent consultants, and we will continue to do so.
Science Day and Career Day, which were held with high participation, were extremely productive.
New generation courses such as 21st Century Competencies and Learning to Learn have been launched.
At the graduation ceremony; For the first time, awareness was raised about the health and well-being of the planet, apart from human health, and an oath was sworn to protect it.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have become an exemplary faculty where problems are overcome by using Problem-Based Teaching Methods in practical training…
We started to make the scientific voices of our faculty’s academics and students heard with the section written by us on the website…
We would like to wholeheartedly thank all our senior management, professors and students, and our stakeholders inside and outside the university for being a part of us. We hope you will always be with us to grow common sense and look to the future together.
Regards,
Prof. Dr. Adile Öniz Özgören,
