Education and Career

I have graduated from School of Medicine, Uludag University in 1992. Received a PhD degree in ‘Public Health’ (Dokuz Eylul University, 1999), and a PhD degree in ‘Medical Ethics and History of Medicine’ (Ankara University, 2006).

Currently working as a professor of Medical Ethics and History of Medicine at Uludag University School of Medicine in Bursa, Turkey. My professional duties include teaching, ethics consultation, and research. I am teaching medical ethics and history of medicine to medical students, to our master and PhD students, and also research ethics to future researchers.

I am a member of Patient Rights Committee in our university hospital, Uludag University Centre for Health, Practice and Research, which handles patient complaints weekly.

I also work in the Hospital Ethics Committee, established for case review, guideline development, and training physicians. I have been honoured by Hans-Joachim Schwager - Prize for Clinical Ethics in 2017 for recognizing my efforts for the development of clinical ethics consultation in our university hospital, and establishing a Hospital Ethics Committee.

I serve as an “Official Advisor” to World Medical Association since the term of 2016-7.

I am trying to contribute to the development of Bioethics, by emphasizing the right to health and professional values as fundamental guides.

Areas of Interest and Research

The areas of interest include: Artificial intelligence in medicine; Big Data in healthcare; Healthcare workers' relationships with medical industry; Effects of healthcare policies on professional values and right to health; Inequities in health and right to health; Allocation of resources; Clinical ethics; The limits of duty to care; End-of-life care; Organ transplantation; Research ethics; Enhancement of human-being; Ethical problems related to genetics; Disaster bioethics.

My current researches are exploring the questions of:

What do medical students think on the possible influences of artificial Intelligence in medicine? What are the risks and opportunities they perceive? Do they feel ready? On which topics they would like to be trained?
What are the opinions of medical students on conscientious objection in medicine? Where do they draw the limits and what are their reasons? Are their reasons justifiable?
What is the level of evidence about efficiency and safety of traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine treatments?
What do patient relatives think about end of life decisions of physicians working in ICUs? What are their expectations from medicine regarding their terminally-ill patients in ICU?
