Dear Students, Prospective Students, and Stakeholders,
The Faculty of Health Sciences at Lokman Hekim University is a dynamic and innovative academic unit that continuously develops its education, research, and community engagement activities through a student-centered educational approach, a strong academic staff, and a clear vision of educating qualified healthcare professionals.
Our faculty closely follows current developments in the field of health sciences and systematically integrates these advances into its educational processes. Within this framework, our programs in Nutrition and Dietetics, Speech and Language Therapy, Midwifery, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Nursing, and Audiology are designed in line with scientific principles, practice-oriented learning, and national and international standards. Our primary aim is to educate healthcare professionals who possess strong professional knowledge and skills, adhere to ethical values, embrace evidence-based practice, and demonstrate social responsibility.
At our faculty, students are supported not merely as recipients of knowledge but as active learners who question, think critically, produce knowledge, collaborate effectively within teams, and engage with real-life professional settings at an early stage. Through clinical and field practices, simulation and laboratory infrastructure, interdisciplinary learning environments, academic advising systems, and comprehensive student support mechanisms, each student’s academic, professional, and personal development is addressed through a holistic perspective.
This educational approach is further strengthened through close collaboration with the clinical infrastructure and practice environments of the Lokman Hekim Health Group. Throughout their education, our students gain the opportunity to integrate theoretical knowledge with practice by engaging directly with real clinical settings.
The Faculty of Health Sciences at Lokman Hekim University aims not only to guide students toward graduation but also to prepare them comprehensively for professional life beyond graduation. Supported by extensive practical and field experience, this educational process enhances students’ employability and contributes to their integration into professional life as competent, responsible, and preferred healthcare professionals. Feedback from graduates and external stakeholders plays an active role in the continuous improvement of our educational programs.
In addition, our faculty adopts a participatory, transparent, and quality-oriented management approach together with its academic and administrative staff, graduates, practice partners, and external stakeholders. Conducting our education, research, and community engagement activities within a strong culture of collaboration, guided by quality assurance and continuous improvement principles, remains among our fundamental priorities.
As the Faculty of Health Sciences at Lokman Hekim University, our goal is to be a strong and reputable faculty that grows together with its students, is strengthened through its stakeholders, encourages scientific production, and combines professional competence with social responsibility in the field of healthcare.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all stakeholders who contribute to this journey and emphasize that we offer our students and prospective students a supportive, qualified academic environment in which they can confidently build their future.
With kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Aynur Ayşe Karaduman Dean, Faculty of Health Sciences Lokman Hekim University
