Professional Journey & Acknowledgments
"Our medical journey, which began at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine—one of Turkey's most established universities—continues with the same first-day passion, excitement, faith, and determination as a Professor at Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, another of Turkey's most established universities..."
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my beloved family, who supported and stood by me at every step, to the honorable Rector, Dean, and professors in our department, to my colleagues, the angiography team, and our nurses who made it possible for me to reach this milestone.
Thank God for showing us these days.
