Orthopedic Prosthetics and Orthotics

Hello everyone, I'm Betül Baran. I am a student of the University of Health Sciences, Orthopedic Prosthesis and Orthotics Program. We make materials that can perform the functions of organs in case of congenital or subsequent limb loss. Our program was established to train qualified personnel in the field. Our program is located in the Vocational School of Health Services in the Gülhane Complex. In our program; Courses such as Material Technology, Orthopedic Casting Techniques, and Basic Techniques in Production are given. In addition, there are common courses we take with other programs. We conduct our applied courses in the laboratories and workshops of the hospitals that our university has a contract with. We do a compulsory summer internship in order to graduate from the program. We do this internship at the relevant institutions and organizations for 20 working days at the end of the 1st grade. After graduation, we can work in orthotic prosthesis application centers, in the public and private sectors. The fact that the Orthopedic Prosthesis and Orthotics Program has wide job opportunities was an important factor in my preference for the program. In addition, I chose the program because I can be a useful individual in the field of health. I chose the University of Health Sciences because I wanted to get a good education in the field of health and it is the largest university in the world that provides health-themed education. After graduation, I aim for a career that can make people's lives easier. I would recommend candidates who will prefer the program to attend the applied classes and improve their hand skills. Also, I recommend that student who will come to our university to take advantage of all the opportunities provided., I wish you all success in your education life. We look forward to welcoming you to the University of Health Sciences, at Gülhane Campus.
