Medical Branch Choice in Turkey and Beneficience
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Medical school trainings are provided to enable medical students to benefit their patients in their professional lives. When looking at occupational branch preferences, it is seen that the physicians are in a position to protect themselves by choosing less risky areas in Turkey. The situation will be clear when examining the preferences of first-time entrants by the TUS (Medical Specialty Exam) from 2015 for problem determination in Turkey. Empty staff have been in branches such as Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, General Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Cardiovascular Surgery, Neurosurgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology. The more preferred branches are Dermatology, Ophtalmology, Radiology, Physical Therapy. This finding suggests that there may be physician distress, especially in some clinical settings in the coming years. It is seen that in the preferences of the physicians in the past periods, the financial gain is the preliminary plan, nowadays, the possibility of the medical error is less, the less contact with the judicial processes, and the worry of allocating more time to himself and his family in daily life. Although this situation seems to be useful and logical for the physician right now, the fact that heavy surgery and major branches are not preferred especially for advanced specialization suggests that these branches will be empty and lead to the problem of medicine accessibility for future generations in these branches in Turkey.
