Gulhane Faculty of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Hi, I'm Hacer Beyza Çelik.I’m a third year student at Turkey's only medical-focused university, University of Health Sciences, Gülhane Faculty of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. Our faculty was established in 2018 in order to train qualified physiotherapists. It is located in the Gülhane Campus. The education program of our faculty lasts for 4 years. Medical sciences courses are given in the 1st grade in our faculty. In the 2nd grade, we take courses that form basic professional skills. We take rehabilitation courses in the third grade. In the 4th grade, we reinforce our knowledge and prepare for our profession by undertaking to clinical practice. We have Anatomy, Physiology, Basic Exercise, Manual Therapy and Electrotherapy laboratories where we have state-of-the-art devices. After receiving the theoretical trainings of these courses, we carry out the applications in laboratories. During your undergraduate education, you have internship opportunities in all hospitals affiliated with our university in Turkey. We have a summer clinical practice in the second grade and a clinical application internship in the fourth. In the second year internship, we aim to develop the skills that we have learned in the first two years, and the last year’s internship focuses on everything that we have learned until that point. Physiotherapists who graduated from our faculty can work in hospitals, in many public institutions and private sectors such as wellness centers, clinics. In these institutions; they can work in many fields such as orthopedics, women's health, neurology. I chose Gülhane Faculty of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation because I like to help people and want to work in the field of health. I chose the University of Health Sciences because it is a school that values teachers and students who provide deep-rooted, disciplined, distinguished and qualified education. After graduation, I would like to continue receiving education in our master's program, where my teachers and our school have put a lot of effort into it. At the same time, I want to heal our patients who are waiting for treatment in with the skills and knowledge that I have developed. I recommend that students who will choose our school and faculty work hard to have healing hands. During their education, I recommend that they benefit from the academic and social opportunities of our school. I wish you all the best in your education. If you want to have healing hands, Gülhane Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Faculty is waiting for you. See you soon.
