Specialty Training in Medicine
• Specialty training is an organized educational training program presented to the medical student / assistant under guidance and supervision.
• During this process, while safe and appropriate health service is offered to the patients, occupational, ethical and personal development is provided for the assistants.
• Qualities of education and patient care are related with each other and should be balanced.

FEATURES OF TRAINING INSTITUTIONS
8
• Structure and organization of specialty training in our country has been given to the Ministry of Health with the law numerated as 1219 in April 11,1928.
• 1949 : Tuberculosis Specialty
• 1960: Respiratory Medicine and Tuberculosis Specialty
• 2002: Respiratory Medicine Specialty
9
• Turkish Board in Pneumology was established in 2000 in order to provide standardization and to increase the quality of Specialty Training in Respiratory Medicine.
• Board exams were started to be carried out since 2002.
10
• However,the Specialty Training Program prepared in 2002 by the Turkish Board in Pneumology couldn’t be realized.
• It’s always recognized that there is no standardization among the institutions giving Respiratory Medicine Specialty training in Turkey and this is not been supported by scientific data till now.
11
Aim
• The aim of the present study conducted by Turkish Respiratory Medicine Board is to form and realize the specialty education program by detection of the current state and problems of institutions in Turkey giving Respiratory Medicine Specialty Training.
12
Method
• June-July 2005: Preparation of a questionnaire including 89 items by the Executive Committee of the Board.
• July- September 2005: Sending and collection of the questionnaires to all university departments of Respiratory Medicine and to government training hospitals of the Health Ministry.
• October-November 2005:Analysis of all data
13
Content of the questionnaire
• Physical infrastructure
• Health staff capacity
• Functional capacity
• Educational infrastructure
14
Results
• 41 university Respiratory Medicine Departments and 9 government training hospitals of the Health Ministry enrolled the study.
• Some questions were incompletely answered by some of the Heads of the university Chest Departments and Clinical Chiefs of the Government Hospitals.

Conclusions-I
• In Turkey, specialty education is offered to 412 assistants with 363 trainers in 48 institutions.
• There are deficiencies in training hospitals regarding educational infrastructure and activities , but the practical appliacations of the assistants working in these hospitals are more.
50
Conclusions-II
• Standardization and accreditation have not been realized in specialty training in Respiratory Medicine yet.
• In parallel to European and Health Ministry work, specialty training program is targeted to be finished at the end of 2006 and accreditation will be at the end of 2007
• A new organization is needed for specialty training in which universities and training hospitals will work together.
