Veterinary

My name is Deniz Ali Çiftçi. I am a 4th grade student at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University. I'm 22 years old. Our faculty was established in 2012 to meet the veterinarian requirement in the Thrace region. It started to accept students in Değirmenaltı Campus in 2014. In the first years of our education, we take basic courses such as anatomy, histology, embryology, and physiology. In the following years, we take courses such as virology, microbiology and pharmacology, and then take clinical courses such as surgery and birth and finish the 5th year of our education. We have 23 laboratories that we use routinely in our faculty. In addition, we will also have a research hospital, the construction of which will be completed in the near future. When we complete our 4th grade education, we do a 20-day internship. We can perform this internship in places such as private polyclinics, animal hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, feed industry. In addition, we graduate in the 5th grade by learning the skills that will prepare us for the field. Since the employment spectrum of veterinary medicine is very wide, we can work in places such as the Jockey Club of Turkey (TJK), the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK), the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, as well as areas such as animal polyclinics and animal hospitals. I chose my department because I love the animals since my childhood, and wanted to do something about it. The reason I choose this place is that I love the Thrace region very much and I wanted to study here. Since I want to become an academic after graduation, I will pursue a path accordingly and continue like this. My suggestion for those who will choose the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is to take a look at the course curriculum before coming to our faculty, remember that the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is a difficult faculty and remember that our profession is to fight diseases. I wish success to students who would prefer our university and department.
