Our faculty was established with the notion of creating new aspects in teaching of medicine. We are aiming to raise medical doctors who give particular importance to research, generation of unchartered knowledge, and contributing to public health and wellbeing.

Our education program, which is designed to educate physicians and scientists who are devoted to combating the health problems of society and people, open to lifelong learning and development, and will guide the future in the field of medicine with its researcher aspects, is evaluated and developed every year with up-to-date knowledge and methods.

Our Vision

With our dynamic, innovative, and liberal approach in medical training, we seek to adopt contemporary medical practices based on research and science; to prioritize the cooperation of medicine with other sciences; to be a leader in education, research, and delivery of healthcare; and to be a leading medical school at national and international level.
