1. General Information
The Department of Anatomy of the Faculty of Medicine was established in 1981 as an affiliate of Anadolu University. For one year, the lectures were carried out temporarily by the faculty members of other branches within the Faculty of Medicine. In 1982, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gürsel Ortuğ from Ankara University Faculty of Medicine started to work at Anadolu University Faculty of Medicine as the first and founding faculty member of this department with permanent staff. Anatomy dissection hall of the department, which initially had a capacity of 80 students, was later renovated to accommodate 200 students and equipped with a closed circuit monitor system for educational purposes. Today, our department maintains education and research duties with 8 lecturers (3 Professors, 1 Assoc. Professor, 1 Asst. Professor and 3 Lecturers) and 2 research assistants. Currently, Master's, Doctorate and Medical Speciality education is carried out uninterruptedly in our department.
