The existence of different applications in terms of pathology, which has an important role in medical education, revealed the necessity of establishing the core education program and using it as a guide in medical faculties. In this study, we aimed to reveal the place of pathology in the education programs in different medical faculties.

                The education programs of 41 state universities using Turkish language and integrated education system were reached via internet. Pathology courses were evaluated in two groups as practical and theoretically.

                In 24 (58.5%) of the universities, pathology courses started in the second year. Only one program (2.5%) included Pathology courses in the 1st Grade. The pathology course was included in the 3rd class in all faculties, but 16 faculties (39%) were only in the 3rd grade. 3 (7.3%) of the faculties did not include practical practice. Considering all the programs (n = 41), the average course hour was found as 125.39 ±28.11 and the average practical lesson time was 26.21 ±15.89.

                Pathology education in medical faculties shows significant differences between faculties. Since a clear definition of course hours and contents will enable the establishment of a standardized pathology training curriculum, it is necessary to provide guidance on this subject.
