Izmir Faculty of Medicine

Hello, I'm Professor Enver İlhan. I am the dean of the University of Health Sciences, İzmir Faculty of Medicine. Health Sciences Izmir Faculty of Medicine was established in June 2020 and accepted its first students. Our students will receive basic medical science education at Ege University Faculty of Medicine for the first 3 years. 4. 5. 6th grade students will receive their internal and surgical medical science education as a part of the program of University of Health Sciences Izmir Faculty of Medicine. Our students will do their internship and internship training in our Faculty of Medicine. Our first year students start receiving education with courses such as Anatomy, Medical Biology, Medical Biochemistry, Histology, Embryology, Public Health basic medicine. I would like to give you information about our hospitals where students will continue their education life in the 4th, 5th and 6th grades. Our 4 hospitals in İzmir work together with the University of Health Sciences. These are the İzmir Tepecik Training and Research Hospital, İzmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital, İzmir Doctor Behçet Uz Pediatrics and Surgery Training and Research Hospital and Suat Seren Chest Diseases and Surgery Training and Research Hospital. These hospitals meet the patient load of the Izmir Aegean region. Our students will continue their education life under the roof of İzmir Faculty of Medicine, which will be formed by the merger of these 4 hospitals and our strong academic staff in İzmir Bayraklı City hospitals. These City hospitals are campus-type hospitals with a total area of 573 thousand square meters, built on an area of 622 thousand square meters. It has a bed capacity of 2060. It has 379 intensive care beds. The city hospital has 53 operating rooms. It is expected that 2000 patients will come to our hospital daily and 2000 patients apply to emergency services and polyclinics. These are important, let me tell you why. Of course, theoretical education has an important role in medical school education. However, clinical practice in medical faculties is also an indispensable form of training to become a good physician. Given the information above, İzmir Faculty of Medicine will provide its students with a wide range of application opportunities.
Students of Izmir Faculty of Medicine will also benefit from the international education benefits provided by the University of Health Sciences. These facilities are also available. Although our faculty was newly established, we came together with our faculty members in our 4 affiliated hospitals and started the Izmir Medical Faculty Scientific Meetings Series at the national and international level. This Scientific meeting, which we have organized 10 times, will be held on 8-9 October 2021 as the International Breast Cancer Symposium. Leading professors from the United States, England, France, Switzerland, Italy and Egypt will attend the meeting and share their knowledge and experience with the physicians of our country. We will have 2 of our 1st year students from Izmir Medical Faculty make the presentation of these meetings. Our students take an active role in our meeting. Physicians graduated from our faculty can work in Ministry of Health hospitals and university hospitals. Within the body of Izmir Faculty of Medicine, we have 35 departments in our Surgery and Internal Medical Sciences departments, as well as 17 sub-branches for adults and 12 sub-branches for children. We have special units in our hospitals, such as the Burn, Cochlear Implant, Organ Transplantation center. Kidney, liver, small intestine and pancreas transplants are performed in the Organ Transplantation Center. In addition, there are Obesity Surgery, Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplantation, Hyperbaric and Underwater Medicine, Muscle Diseases, Robotic Surgery, IVF, Surgical and Medical Treatment Centers for Oncological patients, our cancer patients. In addition to these, there is a Sleep Disorders Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Smoking Cessation Center. Education in medical faculties is student-oriented. Students should be actively involved in research and studies, not just study. I wish good luck to all students who will take the exam. I wish you to achieve what you have in mind.
