Anatomy Courses Content of the Medical Faculty in Turkey
Abstract
Aim: Our research in Turkey with the Higher Education Council (YÖK) depends on the content of the courses in Anatomy operating in the Faculty of Medicine, School of Medicine has identified and studied during class hours to reveal whether there is a standard in this regard.
Materials and Methods: Web pages of all Medical Faculties have been accessed by writing the names of Medical Faculties to search engines on the Internet. From these web pages, Anatomy course topics and course hours have been determined by referring to the Core Education Program (ÇEP) of the Turkish Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy Association (TAKAD) and the Medical School syllabus for the 2018-2019 period.
Results: Content of the curriculum could not be reached in most of the Foundation Universities websites (75%). Nearly half (48.8%) of the State University Medical Faculties have published their course programs regularly on their web pages.
Conclusion: This study makes us think that State Universities have a more serious education program in terms of accessibility to course content data, sharing knowledge experience infrastructure and archiving successes compared to Foundation University Medical Faculties. Period of anatomy class I / II is the awarding and course contents can be said to be the standard in Turkey.
