İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi

What İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi does

İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi is the medical faculty of İstanbul Üniversitesi and the institutional continuation of the Tıbhane-i Âmire founded by Sultan II. Mahmud on 14 March 1827, representing the oldest continuous modern medical education tradition in Turkey (with antecedents in the 1470 Fatih Darüşşifası). It delivers a comprehensive 6-year undergraduate MD program, residency and subspecialty training, and continuing medical education for practicing physicians, while simultaneously operating a large tertiary/quaternary academic hospital at its Çapa-Fatih campus in Istanbul that serves as a referral center for complex cases from across Turkey. The faculty is organized into three academic divisions — Basic Medical Sciences (Temel Tıp Bilimleri), Internal Medical Sciences (Dahili Tıp Bilimleri), and Surgical Medical Sciences (Cerrahi Tıp Bilimleri) — and employs approximately 3,073 staff across administrative (1,746), worker (1,046), and contract (281) categories.

The institution's technology footprint is built around three core digital platforms: the Öğrenme Yönetim Sistemi (İUÖYS) for synchronous/asynchronous distance learning, two e-Akademi portals (one for Mezuniyet Öncesi undergraduate education and one for Mezuniyet Sonrası postgraduate education), and a hospital information system (İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi Hastane Bilgi Sistemi) that supports appointment scheduling, laboratory results, and clinical documentation. Research output is channeled through the ITF Teknoloji Transfer Ofisi (Technology Transfer Office) and disseminated via two peer-reviewed open-access journals indexed in Web of Science ESCI and Scopus: İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi (general medicine, quarterly) and The Turkish Journal of Ear Nose and Throat (ENT, four issues/year). Strategic R&D oversight was formalized in November 2024 with the establishment of the Akademik Sürdürülebilir Gelişim Kurulu (Academic Sustainable Development Board).

İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi is not a commercial enterprise but a government_state_entity under İstanbul Üniversitesi, governed by the Turkish Higher Education Council (YÖK). Operating revenue is sourced primarily from state budget appropriations via the Ministry of Higher Education, with additional inflows from patient services delivered at the affiliated hospital under SGK (Social Security Institution) coverage and private payment. Patient access is provided through a phone appointment line (0212 414 24 24), an internet appointment system (itfrandevu.istanbul.edu.tr), emergency services, and walk-in channels; prospective student recruitment is conducted via the national YKS exam and a dedicated candidate student portal (istanbultiptanitim.istanbul.edu.tr). International mobility is supported through the ERASMUS Programme and Turkey's national Farabi Exchange Programme, and research collaboration is anchored by partnerships with TÜBİTAK. Dean since the most recent period is Prof. Dr. Ahmet Salduz.
