In Turkey, the university reform performed directly through Ataturk’s order in 1933 has significant effects on the development and improvement of Turkish medicine.

During the tenth year of foundation of the Republic in which the country suffered from poverty and helplessness, qualified lecturers were required for creating a modern university. Especially, in faculties of medicine, the need for qualified lecturers was very great. The lectures were far from practice and were based on memeorizing. In the same years, the pressure of Hitler Regime on Jewish scientists was a chance for the newly established university. A great number of refugee scientists have assigned in Istanbul University.
