The Department of Healthcare Management offers a four-year undergraduate education. The language of instruction is Turkish. Healthcare managers administrate public and private health systems, hospitals or other medical facilities. The role of healthcare management professionals is to ensure the smooth operation of healthcare institutions, the recruitment of qualified employees, the effective dissemination of information throughout the organization and the efficient use of resources within the framework of responsibilities to achieve the expected results.
