THREE SIGNIFICANT FIGURES IN THE ANKARA MEDICAL FACULTY 2: PROF. DERYA DINÇER, M.D.
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2014, Vol 25, Issue 4
Abstract
The Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Ankara University’s School of Medicine has employed and trained many academicians in almost every sub-branch of Orthopedics from the very first day it was established until today. Masters such as Professor Güngör Sami Çakırgil and Professor Rıdvan Ege played important roles in the development of spinal surgery in a certain manner, also known as the “Ankara Medical School Approach”. After these two masters, three significant figures took over this task, and they were also pioneers and contributed to the development of Turkish Spinal Surgery nationwide. In this series of biographies, the life stories of these figures and their endeavors for the development of Turkish Spinal Surgery, are told in three chapters. This, the second chapter, discusses Professor Derya Dinçer, and the final chapter discusses Professor Tarık Yazar. On behalf of their students, we also aim to emphasize our appreciation and gratitude to them.
