Hospital Infection Control Doctorate Program

Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Department - Hospital Infection Control Doctorate Program started education as of the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year, with the opening of the Higher Education Executive Board at the meeting held on 25.03.2020. This program; Priority areas determined by the Council of Higher Education in order to meet the need for human resources with doctorates in our country are included in doctoral programs. The curriculum of this doctoral program is based on a theoretical and applied education within the framework of a multidisciplinary content. Today, infection control and hospital infection rates are accepted as a quality indicator in all inpatient treatment institutions. After the Ministry of Health made it mandatory to establish infection control committees in all hospitals, the need for qualified infection control doctors and nurses and auxiliary health personnel dealing with nosocomial infections arose in all hospitals in our country. In order to prevent these infections, certification trainings and courses are organized within the Ministry of Health, and the shortage of infection control doctors and nurses is tried to be closed. Due to the inadequacy of qualified health personnel in this regard, this program has been included in the priority areas by the Council of Higher Education. At a time when nosocomial infections gain a lot of importance and there is a need for qualified people trained in this field, the aim of opening the Hospital Infection Control Doctorate Program is; It is the training of professional health personnel who will serve in all inpatient treatment institutions and who will be employed in public hospitals, who have gained experience and trained in hospital infection control. Students who complete the program receive the title of "Doctor-PhD".
