During this program, students learn various aspects of endocrinology including hormones, their regulation, and associated disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and Cushing's syndrome. They also gain an in-depth understanding of diabetes, including type 1, type 2, and gestational, as well as management techniques such as insulin therapy and other pharmacological approaches.
The main goal of this scientific group is to train specialists who are able to provide the best care for patients with endocrine disorders and diabetes. They are involved in accurate diagnosis, holistic patient care, patient education on diabetes management, and research for the development of more effective therapies and prevention of endocrine diseases.
The role of understanding the relationship between endocrinology, metabolism, and diabetes is crucial to improving patients' quality of life, preventing possible complications, and optimizing blood sugar control. With an emphasis on comprehensive management, it is expected to have a positive impact on patients suffering from endocrine disorders and diabetes.

Tropical diseases and infections is a specialty area within the Internal Medicine specialist program that focuses on the study, diagnosis, and management of infectious diseases, particularly those common in tropical regions. Students understand the causative agents, transmission, clinical manifestations, and management of infectious diseases as well as the factors that influence the spread of tropical diseases.
During the program, students study various infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, tuberculosis, respiratory tract infections, and gastrointestinal infections. They understand diagnostic methods, treatment, and preventive and control measures for the spread of infectious diseases.
The main objective of Tropical and Infectious Diseases is to provide comprehensive care, diagnose early, and plan the management of infectious diseases, particularly those common in tropical regions. Students are aimed to become experts who are able to care for patients with complex infectious diseases.
This field has an important role in supporting public health in tropical regions, controlling infectious diseases, and ensuring the prevention of disease spread.

Rheumatology is a specialized field within the Internal Medicine specialist program that focuses on the study, diagnosis, and management of autoimmune diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Students understand the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the musculoskeletal system as well as the body's immune response involved in rheumatologic diseases.
During the program, students study various rheumatological diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, osteoarthritis, and connective tissue diseases. They understand diagnostic, treatment, and symptom management techniques which include drug therapy, physical therapy, and interventional measures.
The main goal of Rheumatology is to provide comprehensive care, diagnose early, and plan the management of rheumatologic diseases. The students are aimed to become experts who are able to care for patients with complex rheumatologic diseases.
This field has an important role in supporting the health of the musculoskeletal system and immune system and improving the quality of life for patients with chronic diseases.

Cardiovasculars is a special focus within the Internal Medicine specialist program that goes in-depth towards knowledge and skills related to diseases and disorders of the cardiovascular system. This system includes the heart and blood vessels and is crucial in maintaining efficient blood circulation to ensure optimal health and function of the body.
During this program, students understand the structure and function of the cardiovascular system, including ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valve disease, and vascular disease. They learn advanced diagnostic technologies such as electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, angiography, and stress tests to make a proper diagnosis. In addition, they explore treatment strategies including drug management, catheter intervention, pacemaker insertion, and surgery if required.
The main goal of this specialty group is to train specialists who are able to provide comprehensive and excellent care for patients with cardiovascular disease. Students are trained to plan appropriate treatment strategies and conduct regular patient monitoring and follow-up to ensure that patients receive appropriate care and can lead healthy lives.
