Faculty of Dentistry

I'm Umut Örer. I am a 3rd year student at the Faculty of Dentistry at Yildirim Beyazit University in Ankara. Our faculty started providing education in 2016. The education period of our program is 5 years. The language of instruction is Turkish. We have 8 departments in the faculty which provide undergraduate, graduate and specialist education. In our department, basic medical science courses such as Anatomy, Physiology, Histology, Microbiology are given. Our own lessons, that is, dental clinic courses such as orthodontics, restorative dentistry, endodontics, pedodontics are also given. Clinical training in our school is built on an integrated system in our 5th year. The integrated system covers the process from the time when a patient registers us until the end of their treatment. This treatment process is carried out by us under the supervision of our professors. For the theoretical and practical courses, we take for basic medical sciences in the 1st and 2nd year, our laboratories are in the July 15 Martyrs Building in the Etlik Campus. Our Phantom Simulation Clinics and the classrooms which we use in the 3rd and 4th years for the dental clinic science classes are located in the Ovacık Campus. After graduating from the faculty of dentistry, we can open our own clinic, work in Oral and Dental Health centers affiliated with the Ministry of Health, and also consider an academic career if we want to. One of the most important reasons why I chose my department was the respectability of medicine. I also chose this department to be useful to people. One of the main reasons I chose Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University was the fact that it is a student-oriented public university in Ankara, the physical and technological facilities are very good, the close relationship we have with the faculty members, and the easy accessibility due to its location in the city center. One of the most useful things in the faculty of dentistry is our library for basic sciences related to our department and laboratories for practice. In addition to the classes, we have student clubs and social facilities where we can improve our social skills. Because of the many international students in our faculty, I got to know different cultures and develop myself and most importantly, benefit from the vast experience of our faculty members while studying in the department. After graduating from the faculty, I would like to take the DSE (Dentistry Specialization Exam) and get my specialization and open my own clinic. I would like to advise the future students to benefit from our laboratories, the Phantom Simulation Clinics and all the facilities in our integrated clinics. I wish success to the students who will choose the Faculty of Dentistry at Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University.
