Purpose and rationale of the program:
These programs, which have been institutionalised abroad for many years under the name of ‘fellowship’, are given on top of clinical specialty training in neurological sciences. They aim to develop knowledge and skills in areas that require specialised and advanced training in clinical and applied basic sciences. The aim of the programs is not to provide a subspecialty (e.g. gastroenterology) diploma, but to provide academic development in specialised areas of neurological sciences for candidates who already have a specialty degree. Rapid developments in neurological sciences have led to a demand for specialists who can closely follow and apply these innovations. These services are still tried to be carried out by the staff who receive education from abroad, but since they are not in sufficient number, they cannot meet the needs of our country.

Opened programmes:
Brain Vascular Diseases
Behavioural Neurology
Movement Disorders
Neuroimmunology
Spinal Surgery
Neuromuscular Diseases
These programs have an intensive patient potential, develop rapidly in diagnosis and treatment, requiring the use of new tests and an interdisciplinary approach. For each of these programs, equivalent ‘fellowship’ training is available abroad. The rich faculty of our institute with interdisciplinary education experience provides an ideal infrastructure for the creation of these post-specialty programs, which cover subjects that require the cooperation of different disciplines.

Program Admission Prerequisites :

The Clinical Neurological Sciences Non-Thesis Master's program accepts graduates of the Faculty of Medicine who have received the title of neurology, neurosurgery, paediatric neurology and ophthalmology specialist according to the Medical Speciality Regulations. Quota determination, admission, application requirements, registration, education, training and examination rules in the Clinical Neurological Sciences Non-Thesis Master's program are carried out according to the provisions of H.U. Graduate Education, Training and Examination Regulations.

In the diplomas of the students; In addition to ‘Clinical Neurological Sciences’ as the name of the program they graduated from, with the recommendation of the head of the department and the decision of the institute board of directors, one of the following related field names (in which their studies are concentrated in the courses they have taken for four semesters, which are equivalent abroad) is included in parentheses. (Cerebrovascular Diseases, Behavioural Neurology, Movement Disorders, Neuroimmunology, Spinal Surgery, Neuromuscular Diseases) All of the courses in the Clinical Neurological Sciences Non-Thesis Master's program are elective, and students take the courses determined by their advisors within the scope of compulsory courses related to the nature of the specialisation program.
