In this respect, it is important to train qualified scientists - who can respond to the developing needs of society through scientific research, contribute to science at national and international level, are self-confident and sensitive to the problems of the country. The Health Sciences Institute carries out studies with this perspective. In this context, our aim is to train qualified manpower that produces science in health, researches new information, and contributes to social change and a healthy society by adhering to scientific criteria. Our priorities in achieving these goals are to train scientists who think critically, use evidence-based information, can solve problems, communicate effectively, are open to change and innovation, produce original knowledge, have leadership characteristics, and are sensitive to ethical principles and national values.
