About the Program

Medicine prepares students to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness, combining foundational sciences with clinical training. Early coursework generally covers anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology, building toward clinical subjects such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and public health. Students progress through supervised clinical rotations in hospital and outpatient settings, developing patient examination, diagnostic reasoning, and communication skills alongside their scientific knowledge. The curriculum also typically addresses medical ethics, research methods, and evidence-based practice. Graduates commonly pursue further specialization through residency training, working in hospitals, clinics, research institutions, or public health settings. This bachelor program is delivered in English over 6 years at Yeditepe University in İstanbul, Turkey. Training in İstanbul gives students access to a large urban healthcare system, including hospitals and clinical settings that support the practical components of medical education. The program's extended length reflects the combination of preclinical science instruction with clinical rotations needed to prepare graduates for the medical profession.
