Ege University Faculty of Medicine, a public university founded in 1955, ranks among the top educational institutions in all of Turkey. Located on the Aegean coast, it offers state-of-the-art clinical care ranging from emergency services, pediatrics, obstetrics and psychiatry to organ transplantation including kidney, liver and heart.
The campus is well located and includes a “student village” where medical students and residents are housed within walking distance of the clinical campus. The city of Izmir is located at the ancient site of Smyrna, where Homer is said to have been born, and is in proximity to some of the world’s best-preserved Greco-Roman ruins at Ephesus and Bergama.
