Education is one of the core values and missions of STAP. As a society, we aim to create a fostering environment in which Turkish American physicians and healthcare workers can connect and grow professionally. Through our projects and events, our members will be able to collaborate to not only share their knowledge, but also drive advancements in their respective fields.
Some of these projects include:
Mentorship is a crucial tool that is required in the lives of every medical professional. STAP is aware of the lack of mentorship for Turkish American physicians and aims to provide all that is needed for our members on their path to a medical career in the US. Through our Mock Interview Project and Personal Statement & CV Project, residency applicants will learn about the intricacies of residency interviews from experienced physicians and program directors while also improving their interview skills by conducting one on one mock interviews with their mentors. Furthermore they will learn about tips for preparing strong CV and PS.
In an effort to provide a platform of growth to Turkish American physicians and healthcare workers, STAP has organized a series of comprehensive webinars addressing the needs and interests of our members at various stages of their medical journey in the US. Previous webinars included topics such as boarding to residency and ERAS Match applications. In the coming months, STAP aims to expand on its webinar series with topics such as residency interview simulations and Match ranking; delving deeper into medical careers in the US, STAP will guide members on each step of their journey.
Our biweekly Online Journal Club is an exclusive activity just for our society’s members. Every two weeks, we meet online to discuss various medical papers with expert guidance. We talk about new research and how it affects healthcare. Your thoughts are important, no matter your experience. Keep an eye out for topics and guest speakers. Join us in understanding medical topics and improving healthcare. This is an activity organized by the Society of Turkish American Physicians, and only members can take part. Your active involvement will help shape the future of medicine.
Driving advancements and progress, research is an integral component of medicine. STAP values the involvement of our members in research and their contribution to the advancements in their fields. With our upcoming research opportunities, we aim to support research initiatives of our members. By providing research education webinars and bringing together members interested in similar areas of research, STAP will cultivate a community dedicated to scientific inquiry and medical innovation.
