Department of Health, Culture and Sports

Hello, I am Doctor Güneş Aytaç. I am a faculty member in the Anatomy Department under the Faculty of Medicine of Yuksek Ihtisas University. I am also the Director of Health, Culture and Sports Directorate of Yuksek Ihtisas University. We have a mission to protect the physical and mental health of all our students and employees, and to support our students with their social, cultural and sports needs. Our Directorate has 12 official student clubs which are currently active. Nearly 70 events were organised by these clubs last year. Our university supports these activities by providing the clubs with the necessary venues and financial support. Some of these clubs within our directorate are: the Dance Club, the Music Club, the Theater Company, the Chess Club, the Technology Club and the Medical Students Association. Our Department, serves as three sub-units: the Culture Unit, the Health Unit and the Sports Unit. All these units organize informative trainings on special occasions and on days of importance. We also have a clinical psychologist, who helps our students and employees, that works by appointment. In addition, trainings on mental health and effective study skills are organized by our department. We have been continuing with our trainings online during the distance learning period as the Health, Culture and Sports Directorate. I would like to wish our new students the best of luck. We would love to see you amongst us.
