While the courses in the first and second years of the program provide the student with information about the basic fields of medicine and dentistry, the courses in the third, fourth and fifth years are aimed at gaining knowledge, skills and competencies related to the dentistry profession. As the first Foundation University to have virtual reality technology before starting clinical studies in the third year, our students will be able to continue patient treatments more safely in clinical studies by practicing on the VR haptic simulator. Fourth and fifth years are clinical internship years. The applied internship system is planned as multidisciplinary. Our students who graduate with this system have the chance to graduate with the experience necessary for dentistry by taking an active role in our patients' treatments from the first stage to the last stage.
