"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" by Leonardo da Vinci
"Simplicity-Simplicity is the highest level of development"
I graduated from Hacettepe Faculty of Medicine in 1998. Since sharing knowledge and education is a passion for me, I chose Ankara Medical Faculty Anatomy department in the first TUS exam I took and became an anatomy specialist in 2002. Since 2003, I have worked at different universities in Turkey and abroad for 13 years, and I became an associate professor in 2009 and a professor in 2014. I taught anatomy undergraduate, graduate and doctorate courses in Medicine, Dentistry, FTR College and Health Sciences Colleges. During this period, many of my articles were published in national and international scientific journals.
In 2003, when I started to be a faculty member, I started to give anatomy lessons in TUS classes at the weekends upon the offers. In this context, I gave TUS Anatomy lectures to more than 25,000 medical students and graduates in 22 different provinces from Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Edirne to Van, by going with another weekend. I have written more than 10 anatomy subject and question books, the most known being "Infotus SMT Anatomy" (7 editions, 40,000 editions). Among my students I am known as "SMT" which indicates my initials.
I teach the entire anatomy curriculum in 4 days (32 lesson hours) in TUS lessons. I use dozens of different memory techniques, mneumonics and acronyms on my slides. I have always received positive feedback from my students as a result of these fun and easy narratives. With the original expression techniques I developed, I turned the anatomy lesson, which seems like a nightmare in the eyes of the students, into an enjoyable and easy to learn lesson.
I gave seminars on "Anatomy with Photographic Memory Techniques" at universities upon invitations from many medical faculties and student congresses in our country.
In this course on my website, my trainees;
- Preparations for exams like TUS / DUS,
- Faculty-college courses
I explain all the anatomy topics with techniques that show how to study anatomy and how to keep them in their memory more easily.
