Associate Degree Health Professions Education in Turkey is 35 Years Old: A Short History of Health Professions Education From Fields that Bloom Love Flowers to the Fertile Soils Smelling Orange Flowers
Öz
Today, as the dynamics of change in the twenty-first century
are effective and education methods and communication are
increasingly being global, health services in Turkey can no doubt
remain outside this constant change and universal interaction
wind. The aim of this paper is to display the story of qualitative
development and change of the Vocational School of Health
Services(VSHS), which has a history of 35 years in the health
education services in Turkey.
This paper aims to emphasize personal testimony to the
contributions made by health professions educators, who
attach importance to national standards and concerns about
“standardlessness”, to the development process of the universities,
in order to make of the Associate Degree Health Professions
Education (ADHPE) in our country meet the universal standards.
This paper proposes the revival and emphasizes the
interprofessionally unifying potential power of the Symposiums of
Health Service Vocational Schools, which initially aimed to miove
around the different universities of Turkey starting from the capital
Ankara as a “common mind movement”, but somehow failed
to maintain a continuous character. Maintainance of quality in
health services, economic gains in costs and ‘humanitarian health
service’ are only possible with trained, socioculturally enriched
and appreciated health workers.
To maintain the long-awaited standard, quality and high value
added in health care services in Turkey, and to attain innovation
and sustainability; ADHPE, with a high level of contemporary
knowledge, skill, and respect for Health Technicians should be
prioritised and supported in every aspect.
As a result, the solution to the problems of ADHPE, which
matters for “social-strategy” and health-economical aspects
for Turkey’s future, is based on creating new interprofessional
educational coopereations, appreciating universal developments
and updating the managerial and organizational approaches by
focusing on new dynamics in a more effective and competent way.
The solution to the ADHPE problems is to provide functionality
of the critical thinking education within the curriculum in order
to “provide humane healthcare services” with competent health
manpower fully equipped in terms of quality and efficiency.
