BAU Medicine Life Mentors

BAU Medicine Life Mentors

With the life mentor program, implemented for the first time in Türkiye, BAU Medicine students will receive support from elders who will guide them throughout their education and beyond. They will benefit from the life experience of life mentors who come from different walks of life and have proven their success.

BAU School of Medicine trains scientist-physicians who possess the qualities and competencies of scientific thinking, have internalized universal ethical values, have adopted the principles of "medicine for people", "technology for people" and "physician for people", know and apply scientific research methodology, have not only in-depth knowledge but also practical skills and creativity, and perceive medicine as a way of life beyond a profession. In the BAU Medicine approach, the field of education and research is the network of knowledge and organization created in every field as well as in the world of medicine.

BAU Medicine students contribute to their personal development not only in the field of medicine but also through their interests in different areas of life.

2013 BAU MEDICINE LIFE MENTORS

Our students who enrolled in 2013 met the life mentors they will accompany throughout the process at a dinner held at BAU Terrace on the evening of 19 September 2013, establishing their communication network. Through this partnership, the aim is for our students to benefit from the life mentors' vast experience in every area, especially in their education, and to continue this sharing in the years to come. The life mentor program will continue for students joining us in future terms.
