Dear Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology,
I am pleased to be with you again with the September issue of our journal, which is our scientific publication and, a great source of pride for us. I would like to congratulate each and every one of our editors, section editors and judges who have put great effort into the preparation of our journal, published four times a year with an infrastructure consisting of knowledge, experience and meticulous work. I would also like to thank our authors and scientists who have sent their work in to be considered for publishing in one of the most prestigious journals in the obstetrics and gynecology community.
The Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology is not only a professional organization but also a social association that focuses on the vocational issues of obstetricians and gynecologists. In this sense, many of the problems experienced by our physicians have been expressed by the The Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology and, as always, the association has managed to become the most important source of trust for gynecologists. One of the most important of these issues is the work that is being done to solve the legal problems experienced by physicians who find themselves having to diagnose Down Syndrome. The statements made by The Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the national press and social media and the work done by our association’s legal department have been instrumental in achieving significant results.
The Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology also ensured that the request for the Obstetrics and Gynecology TUKMOS Core Education Program to be revised was brought to the Medical Specialization Board Curriculum Creation and Standard Setting (TUKMOS) committee.
Additionally, The Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology has made the necessary press announcements in the national and social media to manage the decline in on-call income due to Specialization Students being absent the day after being on call by using leave after on-call duty as published and entered into force in the Official Gazette edition 31942 dated 03.09.2022.
In this context, the Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology is a scientific association that organizes congresses and meetings and publishes a very valued scientific journal; a social association addressing the important problems of our colleagues through the press bulletins we release, and of course a protective institution that weighs in on the problems of our young colleagues. I can confidently say that the Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology is present in every part of the Obstetrics and Gynecology field in Turkey.
My Best Regards
İsmail Mete İtil, Prof. MD
President of TJOD
