Publication: Bir tıp fakültesinde eğitimin ve bilimsel araştırmaların 27 yıllık izlemi: Marmara Üniversitesi tıp fakültesi
Abstract
Amaç: Ülkemizde tıp eğitimi ve tıbbi araştırmaların büyük bölümü tıp fakültelerince yürütülmektedir. 2010 yılı itibarı ile Türkiye‟de tıp eğitimi veren 75 tıp fakültesi bulunmaktadır. Türkiye‟nin yirminci tıp fakültesi olarak kurulan Marmara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi (MÜTF), İngilizce eğitim yapan ilk fakültelerinden biri olması nedeni ile klasik tıp fakültelerinden farklı bir modeli temsil etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı fakültenin kuruluşundan günümüze kadar olan 27 yıllık sürede tıp eğitimi, tıpta uzmanlık eğitimi ve bilimsel araştırma ile ilgili verilerini değerlendirerek adı geçen tıp fakültesinin ülkemiz tıp eğitimi ve bilimine katkısını ortaya koyarak tıp eğitiminin geleceğine ışık tutmaktır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada mezuniyet öncesi ve sonrası eğitim verileri, öğretim üyeleri ve bilimsel yayın ile ilgili veriler fakülte arşivi, ulusal yayın dizinleri, uluslararası yayın dizinleri, atıf dizinleri ve Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu (YÖK) tez arşivi taranarak elde edilmiş ülkemiz genelindeki veriler ile kıyaslanmıştır. Sonuçlar: MÜTF‟ de 2010 yılı itibarı ile öğretim üyesi başına düşen öğrenci sayısı 3.5 yayın sayısı ise 0.85 olarak hesaplanmıştır. MÜTF kaynaklı yayınlar Marmara Üniversitesi toplam yayınlarının %64.7sini, uzmanlık tezleri ise MUTF kaynaklı yayınların % 10,7‟sini oluşturmaktadır. Yayınların % 51‟ i etki değeri <1,9 olan dergilerde yer almaktadır. Yorum: MÜTF‟nin, eğitim ve bilimsel araştırma parametreleri ülke verileri ile paralel bir seyir izlemektedir. Özgün yayın sayısı artmasına rağmen, bu özgün çalışmaların, etki değeri yüksek dergilerdeki yayın sayılarında, paralel artış izlenmemektedir. Özgün yayın sayıları ve etki değeri yüksek dergilerde yayınların artması için tedbir ve teşvikler gerekli görünmektedir.
Aim: Medical education and an important part of clinical research is carried out by medical faculties in Turkey. By 2010, 75 medical faculties are available in Turkey. Marmara University School of Medicine (MUTF) established as the twentieth medical faculty of Turkey represents a different model from conventional medical faculties because it was one of the first Turkish medical faculties providing education in English. The aim of this study is to shed light on the future of medical education by investigating the contribution of MUTF to the medical education and science of our country, evaluating the data on specialty education and scientific research during the 27 years from the establishment of the MUTF until today. Method: In this study, data on pre and postgraduate education, lecturers and scientific publications were obtained by screening the archieve of the faculty, national publication index, international publication indexes, citation indexes and thesis archieves of higher education institutions and compared them to the other data from our country. Results: For each lecturer, the number of students was calculated as 3.5 and the number of the publications was calculated as 0.85 . The publications from the MUTF constitute 64.7% of the total publications of Marmara University and specialty theses constitute 10.7% of MUTF originated publications. 51% of the publications were in the journals with impact factor < 1.9. Conclusion: Education and scientific research parameters of MÜTF are parallel to the data of the country. Although there is an increase in the number of original articles, the number of original articles published in journals with high impact factor, is not increasing accordingly. Local and national measures and encouragements seem necessary for increasing the number of original publications and publications in journals with high impact factors.
