title: Medical education in Turkey 1996.
abstract: Medical education in Turkey has certain similarities with systems in the West, and is struggling to train its doctors to the highest standard. However, as a country it remains very much in between the cultures of East and West. Although the overall organisation of medical training is continually changing, and individual medical schools have varying ideals, the aim of this article is to provide an overview of the current system for training student doctors in Turkey.
