Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University Faculty of Medicine was established with the Official Gazette decision (2018/11593) dated 25.05.2018 and numbered 30431.
21 students who were admitted to our faculty in the 2018-2019 academic year started their education in Erzurum within the framework of the cooperation protocol signed with Atatürk University.
In 2020, according to the protocol signed between our University and the Ministry of Health, Ağrı State Hospital became "Ağrı Education and Research Hospital". While education, research and health services continue to be carried out in Ağrı Education and Research Hospital, it is also aimed to serve medical education in order to train successful and productive physicians of the future.
As of the 2023-2024 academic year, 41 students who were admitted to our faculty started their education and training in Ağrı for the first time this academic year. As of the 2023-2024 academic year, we have a total of 191 students studying in Ağrı in Term 1, 41 in Erzurum in Term 2, 40 in Term 3, 28 in Term 4, 21 in Term 5, and 19 in Term 6.
In the 2024-2025 academic year, our 1st and 2nd year students will study in Ağrı.
Our faculty graduated its first graduates in 2024.
On the other hand, the construction process of our new Faculty of Medicine building is ongoing and it is planned that this building, which will include classrooms equipped with modern educational tools and contemporary research laboratories, will be put into service in 2025. Our new Faculty of Medicine building, which will have a total indoor area of 12,000 m², will have 96 faculty members' rooms, 20 dean's and other administrative rooms, 16 student laboratories, 12 research laboratories, 4 amphitheaters (for 80-96-96-100 people), 32 classrooms/seminar rooms and 1 conference hall for 160 people.
As Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University Faculty of Medicine, we aim to become a center of international standards by adopting innovative approaches in education and research. Our faculty, which is geographically located at a strategic point where Erzurum, Iğdır and Van provinces intersect, has the potential to become an important center in the field of health tourism in the future thanks to its proximity to the international highway and neighboring countries.
In addition to its contributions to the development of our faculty's infrastructure, İbrahim Çeçen Foundation provides scholarship opportunities to our students and faculty members, helping us to access modern educational tools and laboratory facilities, and motivating our students and faculty members.
As Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University Faculty of Medicine, we have adopted the mission of training physicians who have the knowledge, skills and equipment required by modern medical education, who are committed to ethical values and professional responsibilities, and who prioritize human health above all else. While preserving our traditional values, we aim to offer our students the latest opportunities in contemporary medicine and improve public health.
