Women in Turkey were first given the opportunity to attend schools of higher education in 1914. Following the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, a number of social, judicial, and economic reforms took place that enabled women to participate actively in both the public and private sectors, and, as a consequence, the number of women students in higher education increased rapidly. The first woman graduated from the veterinary school in Ankara in 1935, becoming the first female veterinarian in the country. Since that time, the number of female veterinary graduates in Turkey has steadily increased.
Introduction: Although the concept of professionalism is widely used in all over the world, there is no clear definition that describes exactly what it is. This is thought to result from different meanings
Türkiye'de çeşitli yayınlarda, veteriner hekimlerin iş olanakları ve istihdam alanlarıyla ilgili kimi noktalara değinilmişse de, bu konuyu ülke ölçekli ele alan bir çalışma belirlenememiştir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de veteriner hekimlerin, kalıcı iş bulma durumları, iş değiştirme konusundaki fırsatlar, sektörler arası yönelimler ve yakın gelecek ile 2023 yılı için sektörlere ilişkin görüş ve beklentilerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirildi. Bu amaçla 398'i kamu çalışanı, 377'si özel sektör çalışanı olmak üzere toplam 771 veteriner hekime anket uygulandı. Verilerin analizlerinden; kamuda çalışan veteriner hekimlerin, kalıcı iş bulmak için, özel sektörde çalışanlara kıyasla daha fazla bekledikleri; buna karşın, daha az oranlarda iş değiştirdikleri saptandı. İş bulma olanakları açısından, özel sektör; her ne kadar daha avantajlı görülse de, bugünün koşullarında özel sektörden kamuya geçişin; tersi geçişten daha yüksek oranlarda olduğu belirlendi. Yakın gelecek ve 2023 yılında; 'gıda kalitesi ve güvenliği' , 'organik tarımhayvancılık' , 'sürü sağlığı' , 'halk sağlığı' ve 'pet sektörü' gibi alanların en fazla gelişim göstereceği beklentisi dikkat çekmektedir. Sonuç olarak, Türkiye'de veteriner hekimliği mesleğinde kamusal alanın diğer çalışma alanlarına göre daha tercih edilebilir olduğu, yakın gelecek ve 2023 yılında önem kazanacak alanlarla ilgili katılımcı görüşlerinin ise 'Tek Tıp Tek Sağlık Konsepti' farkındalığına işaret ettiği söylenebilir.
The importance of communication skills in veterinary medicine has been increasing for a long time. The aim of this article is to investigate how theoretical training, role-playing, and standardized/simulated client (SC) methods improve senior (fifth-year) veterinary students’ skills in breaking bad news. The study was carried out with 67 volunteer senior students. The research was designed from a pre-test and post-test control group pattern. All students encountered the SC. After pre-tests, theoretical training was given to Experimental Group A (EGA) and Experimental Group B (EGB). Then, only the students in EGA role-played together. Each student completed a checklist consisting of 10 basic items after pre-tests and post-tests. After post-tests, focus group interviews with open-ended questions were conducted. In the pairwise comparisons, EGA’s and EGB’s adjusted post-test mean scores were significantly higher than the control group’s ( p < .001). EGA’s and EGB’s post-test scores were found to be significantly higher than their pre-test scores. Women’s empathy and eye contact scores were found to be statistically higher than men’s scores. This study is the first of its kind in Turkey to use SCs and peer-to-peer learning with role-play simulations in training students about breaking bad news in veterinary medicine. These findings show that theoretical training and role-playing has an impact on senior veterinary students’ skills in breaking bad news.
Since its opening in 1972, the İstanbul University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine had been affiliated to İstanbul University (1). However, after the University had been separated into two in 2018, the Veterinary Faculty was transferred to the new institution named İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa. 1 After this transfer, the date of the founding of the Veterinary Faculty was changed to 1889 and associated with the founding year of the Civil Veterinary School.Considering the importance of the issue, Prof. Belgin Sarımehmetoğlu, the Dean of the Ankara University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, entrusted us to prepare a scientific report containing historical evidence. The full text of this report can be found on the website of the Faculty and the summary is given below.The Military and Civil Veterinary Schools were founded in İstanbul in 1842 and 1889 respectively (2, 3, 4). However, after the Civil Veterinary School was demolished by a major fire in 1920, the two schools were merged as the Veterinary College in 1921. 2 The Veterinary College was transferred to Ankara as a faculty of the Higher Institute of Agriculture in 1933. 3 Thus, the spiritual heritages of the Veterinary College and its roots, the Military and Civil Veterinary Schools, began to live in their new home in Ankara with all their history and memories. When the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was transferred to the Ankara University 4 in 1948, it became the primary senior Faculty of the University with its history dating back to 1842.The İstanbul University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was opened in 1972 (1). Then, it was transferred to the İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, which was established in 2018 by separation of the İstanbul University into two. 1 After this transfer, the founding date of the Faculty was changed to 1889, the year the Civil Veterinary School was founded. Thus, not only the historical memory of the İstanbul University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has been distorted but one of the historical roots of the Ankara University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was obscured.Institutions gain historical value with their activities at national and international levels and not by pulling founding dates back. Having made its mark in history many times, the Ankara University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is a single entity with its historical, scientific and institutional identity. Removing a piece of this identity means interference with its continued existence. Such an attempt to distort history will invariably be judged by science and history.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
