Bachelor in Medicine

This program prepares students for the practice of medicine through a curriculum that combines foundational sciences with clinical training. Early years typically cover anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and pathology, building the scientific basis for understanding the human body and disease processes. Later years shift toward clinical rotations across specialties such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry, where students work under supervision in hospital and clinical settings to develop diagnostic and patient care skills. The program emphasizes both scientific knowledge and practical clinical competence, along with communication skills, ethics, and professional responsibility expected of physicians. Graduates typically continue into postgraduate medical training or residency programs to specialize in a particular field of practice. This bachelor program runs for 6 years and is taught in English at Ondokuz Mayıs University, a state institution located in Samsun, Turkey. The extended duration reflects the depth of scientific and clinical training required, giving students substantial exposure to patient care before they enter supervised practice. The program is structured to build medical knowledge progressively, from classroom science to hands-on clinical experience.
