PREFACE
In 2004, I earned my medical degree from Ankara
University School of Medicine. I was then awarded a scholarship from the
Turkish Education Foundation (TEV) and the German Academic Exchange Service
(DAAD) to pursue a Master's degree in Molecular Bioengineering at Dresden
Technical University in Germany. After completing my Master's degree in 2006
with a thesis titled "Atomic Force Microscopy of Changes in Cell
Morphology after Scrapie Infection", I gained valuable experience as an
internal medicine resident at Fachkrankenhaus Coswig and Greifswald University
hospitals. In 2007, I passed the German Medical Equivalency Exam.
I began
general surgery residency at Gazi University School of Medicine in 2008, and I was
awarded ECFMG certification after passing the United States Medical Licensing
Examination in 2010. I received my General Surgery Specialist degree from Gazi
University School of Medicine in 2014, and I worked as a general surgeon at
Zonguldak Devrek State Hospital until 2017. I served as a faculty member at the
Department of General Surgery at Aksaray University School of Medicine until
2019. Afterward, I completed my subspecialty training in Intensive Care
Medicine at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University School of Medicine between 2019
and 2022. I am now working as an Intensivist in the Surgical Intensive Care
Unit at Ankara Etlik City Hospital.
Drawing
from my professional experiences and insights gained through my time abroad, I
have realized that exposure to diverse research centers, cultural interactions,
and education that employs innovative methods and techniques are crucial for
scientific advancement. With this in mind, I wrote the books "Medical
Education and Residency in Germany," "Medical Residency in the United
States," "Medical Communication in German," and
"Postgraduate and Doctoral Education in Germany" to guide those who aspire
to receive education in Germany and the United States of America. Additionally,
these books were written to guide medical students who wished to engage in
scientific research and make contributions to the field through a combination
of clinical and laboratory studies.
As a
general surgeon, I have written this surgical atlas to enhance the theoretical
knowledge of medical students in their general surgery courses by presenting
real-life case images. The information provided on the depicted diseases is
based on my patient archive and is up-to-date, making this atlas unique and
valuable for medical students. I hope that this atlas of general surgery will be
beneficial to medical students during their general surgery clerkships.
