Dear Students,

Along with the technological developments, the rapid development of medicine and the increasing awareness of individuals about health have extended the average life expectancy. This situation has led to an increase in the elderly population in our country as well as all over the world. In addition, as a result of the changes in the family structure, the social, psychological and medical problems and care needs of the elderly population have increased. “Elderly Care Technicians” play an important role in meeting these needs, evaluating the elderly person holistically, and providing care and rehabilitation. In our Aged Care Program, students will be able to work in public and private hospitals, nursing homes, nursing homes for the weak, day centers for the elderly, municipalities, Social Services and Child Protection Institutions, Non-Governmental Organizations where elderly care services are carried out, in line with the theoretical knowledge and skills they have acquired during the two-year education period. .

Today, with the development of medicine, interest in more specific fields is increasing. One of these fields is Podology, which deals with foot health. Foot health has an important place in diabetic individuals, athletes, individuals with foot health problems or aesthetic concerns. Podologists; They are healthcare professionals who have the medical knowledge and skills to diagnose foot health-related problems, refer them to the relevant specialist when necessary, and work in collaboration with physicians to protect foot care and foot health.
