Faculty Of Medicine

My name is Hüseyin Umur Kaplan. I am a senior student at Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine. The department is a faculty established in 1992 to train physicians. In addition to our preclinical courses such as Anatomy, Physiology, Histology, and Biochemistry, we have major internships that we undertake such as Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, which are our clinical branches that we study in the fourth and fifth grades, as well as combined minor internships such as Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry. We have an anatomy laboratory that we use especially for our preclinical courses. In our anatomy laboratory, we receive cadaver training and learn about the human body through models. In addition, we have microbiology courses that we take in the microscope laboratories and biochemistry laboratories, which we also use to measure parameters. We undertake an internship program in the fourth and fifth grades. We complete our clinical training at the hospital. We graduate from our department as general practitioners. With the title of general practitioner, we can work in Emergency Services, Community Health Centres and Family Health Centres. In addition, we can specialize in a specific subject we want by taking the Medical Specialization Exam and work as a specialist physician. The reason why I chose my department was that my childhood dream was to enrol in the Faculty of Medicine. I think I can serve my country better as a doctor. I chose Pamukkale University because of Denizli’s beauty and because I thought it would contribute to my education. Due to our active education system, we are in more contact with our faculty members. I benefit the most from my experienced teachers. After graduation, I want to become an academic by specializing in a certain department and carry on with my academic career. I suggest candidates that will choose this department to know that they will work a lot and enjoy that work. If you want to receive education from an experienced and well-equipped staff, you can choose Pamukkale University. I wish success to the candidates who will take the university exam.
