Tıp ve Sağlık Eğitiminde Dönüşümsel Liderliğin İlham Verici Bir Örneği: Prof. Dr. İskender Sayek

Öz

Amaçlar: Dünyada modern tıp eğitiminin gelişimi hakkında 100 yılı aşkın bir süredir tarih sayfalarında birçok değerli isim yer almaktadır. Bu bakış açısıyla, bu çalışmada Türkiye'de modern tıp eğitiminin önemli isimlerinden biri olan Prof. Dr. İskender Sayek ele alınmaktadır. Yöntemler: Nitel bir çalışma olan bu çalışmada, veri kaynakları hem Prof. Dr. İskender Sayek ile yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme hem de Google, Google Akademik, PubMed, Youtube ve Spotify'dan elde edilen dokümanlardır. Tüm veriler, daha önce tanımlanmış liderlik stilleri üzerine yapılan çalışmalara ve ayrıca yazarların tıp eğitimi alanında 15 yılı aşkın süredir Prof. Sayek ile sürdürdüğü profesyonel iletişimine dayanarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Dokümanlar tıp eğitimindeki resmi görevleri, akademik faaliyetleri ve sivil toplum faaliyetleri çerçevesinde modern tıp eğitiminin gelişimindeki yeri açısından değerlendirilmiş; yaptığımız görüşme ise iletişime ve bilgi paylaşımına açıklık, etkileyicilik, zaman yönetimi ve uzmanlık düzeyi temaları altında değerlendirilmiştir. Prof.Sayek’in tıp eğitimiyle ilgili değerlendirme raporlarıyla diğer yayınlarından, dekanlığı sırasında modern tıp eğitimi yöntemlerinin entegrasyonu ile ayrıca TEPDAD'ı (Tıp Eğitimi Programları Değerlendirme ve Akreditasyon Derneği) ve Hacettepe Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Tıp Eğitimi ve Bilişimi Anabilim Dalı'nı kurmasına kadar olan tüm bulgular, Prof. Sayek'in özellikle son 25 yılda Türkiye'de modern tıp eğitiminin gelişiminde öncü bir rol oynadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Tıp eğitimindeki faaliyetleri, tıp eğitimindeki yapısal ve eğitsel değişikliklerden, tıp eğitiminin durumu, sosyal güvenilirlik ve sosyal hesap verebilirlik gibi tıp eğitimi konusunda farkındalığı artırmayı amaçlayan sivil faaliyetlere kadar uzanan geniş bir yelpazeyi kapsar ve bunların hepsi onun vizyoner liderlik, öğretim liderliği ve akademik liderlik gibi birçok liderlik stili özelliklerini taşıdığını göstermektedir. Türkiye'de tıp eğitiminde yalnızca yapısal iyileştirmelere değil, aynı zamanda bunların bilime dayalı olarak devam etmesini sağlayan zihniyet değişikliklerine de yol açan resmi ve sivil faaliyetlerine dayanarak, Prof. Sayek için dönüştürücü liderliğin baskın liderlik stili olduğu sonucuna varıyoruz. Prof. Sayek hakkındaki bu çalışmanın liderlik bölümüne ek olarak, kendisiyle yaptığımız mülakatı da sunuyoruz. Son 60 yılda tıp eğitimine ilişkin gözlemlerinden, özellikle Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin ikinci yüzyılında modern tıp eğitiminin hedefleri konusundaki geleceğe yönelik öneri ve beklentilerine kadar çeşitli konuları içeren bu mülakat çalışmaya ek değer katmaktadır. Sonuçlar: Prof. Sayek'in hem resmi hem de sivil mesleki yaşamı tıp eğitiminde dönüşümsel liderlik temelinde ilham verici bir örnek teşkil etmektedir. Tıp eğitiminin hem entelektüel hem de uygulama açısından nasıl geliştirilebileceğini ve sürdürülebilirliğinin bilime dayalı olarak nasıl sağlanabileceğini göstermesi açısından çok değerledir. Mülakatımızda ifade bulan güncel faaliyetleri ve geleceğe yönelik önerileri de bu sonuçları doğrulamaktadır.

An Inspiring Example of Transformational Leader in Medical and Health Education: Prof. Dr. İskender Sayek

Öz

Aims: Many valuable names have been noted on the history pages about the development of modern medical education in the world for over 100 years. From this perspective, as a prominent name of the history of modern medical education in Türkiye, Prof. Dr. İskender Sayek is evaluated in this study. Methods: The study was designed as qualitative, in which data sources were both semi-structured interview with Prof. Dr. İskender Sayek and the documents obtained from Google, Google Scholar, PubMed, Youtube, and Spotify. All data were evaluated based on the studies on the leadership styles defined previously as well as the authors’ professional communication with Prof. Sayek for more than 15 years in the field of medical education. Findings: The documents were evaluated regarding the development of modern medical education within the framework of official duties, academic activities and civil society activities in medical education; the interview was evaluated under the themes of openness to communication and information sharing, impressiveness, time management and level of expertise-satisfaction. From his evaluation reports and other publications on medical education to his integration implications of modern medical education methods and his foundation of TEPDAD (‘Tıp Eğitimi Programları Değerlendirme ve Akreditasyon Derneği’ in Turkish: ‘Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Medical Education Programs’) and the Department of Medical Education and Informatics at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine during his deanship, all the findings suggest that Prof.Sayek has been a leader in the development of modern medical education in Türkiye, especially in the last 25 years. His activities in medical education include a wide spectrum, ranging from structural and instructional changes in formal medical education to civil activities aimed at raising awareness about medical education such as condition of medical education, social reliability and social accountability among not only people working in the field of health and health education but also ones outside of health, all of which demonstrate that he has characteristics of many leadership styles such as visionary leadership, instructional leadership and academic leadership. Based on his formal and informal activities that have led to not only structural improvements in medical education in Türkiye but also changes in minds ensuring the development to continue based on science, we conclude that transformative leadership is his dominant leadership style for Prof. Sayek. In addition to the leadership part of this study on Prof. Sayek, we also present our interview with him. It includes various topics ranging from his observation on medical education in the last 60 years to his future recommendations and expectations, especially on the goals for modern medical education in the Republic of Türkiye’s second century, providing additional value to the study. Conclusions: Prof. Sayek's professional life, both formal and informal, is an inspiring example of transformational leadership in medical education, as it demonstrates how medical education can be improved both intellectually and practically, and how its sustainability can be ensured based on science. His current activities and future recommendations in our interview confirm this conclusion as well.
