I was graduated from Tarsus American College in 1989. During this peirod I had the chance to attend an English language course in I.S.I. British Council in Brighton, England in 1986.

In 1996 I was graduated from the English part of the most highly cited medical school in Turkey, University of Hacettepe. After having sucess in written and oral examinations of TurkMSIC, I had the chance to participate in Internal Medicine clerkship in Murcia, Spain in 1993, and Obstetrics and Gynecology clerkship in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1994.

I became a Urologist and a Urologic Surgeon on 2002 after completion of the residency program in Ataturk Training and Research Hospital in Izmir. During this period I had the chance to visit the Urology Dept of Justus-Liebig University in Giessen, Germany for endoscopic urinary stone surgery.
