The Youth Federation has launched a petition against the removal of the central exam for medical specialization training. In the announcement, it was stated that the central exam serves as an important guarantee for a fair start. The campaign aims to preserve the existing central examination system for entry into specialization training in the fields of medicine and dentistry.
The petition is being organized for doctors, dentists, and medical candidates via the website genclikfederasyonu.org/imza. The Youth Federation announced its opposition to the removal of the central exam requirement for entering specialization training, countering the Basic Healthcare Services Department Law Draft currently on the agenda of the Republic Assembly.
Demand for Equal Opportunity and Transparency
The Federation asserted that the process of specialization must be based on scientific, objective, and verifiable criteria. Emphasizing that all candidates aspiring for the same specialization positions should compete under equal conditions, the Federation noted that the central examination system is a crucial means of ensuring this equality.
Additionally, it was stated that the quotas for specialization should be determined based on the capacities of educational institutions and the healthcare needs of the community. The Youth Federation highlighted the necessity of establishing collaborations and organized rotation programs with educational institutions in Turkey for areas where sufficient clinical experience cannot be acquired.
Goal: Train Qualified Specialists
“Our aim is not just to distribute diplomas, but to train specialists with sufficient knowledge, skills, and clinical experience,” they declared, clearly stating the goal of the healthcare system. The Federation described the Ministry of Health’s position regarding the removal of the central exam directive as “unacceptable” and called for a reevaluation by the ministry.
Finally, the Youth Federation invited relevant professional organizations and civil society groups to support the campaign. The collected signatures are planned to be submitted to the Republic Assembly, the Ministry of Health, and other relevant institutions.
