    The power of aphorisms in medical education
    (2013) Yakinci C.; Yakinda H.; Akin K.
    Aphorisms are didactic guides formed by individual experiences, and they reflect life and living traditions. Aphorisms tell of both general life events as well as aspects of certain occupations. In medical education, over the centuries as a product of traditions, aphorisms have been used for teaching both medical ethics and professions. Today, in evidence-based medicine, medical aphorisms are accepted as traditional and are referred to only rarely, despite the fact that a single aphorism can relate a life experience more succinctly and effectively than can several sentences. In light of these data, teachers in the field of medical education must generate new, valid, didactic, and effective aphorisms incorporating their own professional experiences. In this study, we aimed to suggest the use of medical aphorisms, which are easy to remember, facilitate learning, and contribute to the formation of a professional identity and professional sensitivity in medical education.

    Reaching unknowns using our own knowledge in medical term science
    (2013) Yakinci C.; Akin K.; Almiş H.
    Individuals experience difficulties when first faced with medical terms, which are formed from Greek and Latin roots, since these terms have unusual settings and structures with no associated connotations. This problem is frequently seen among first-year medical students. Individuals pursuing a medical education can solve this problem by using old familiar words to learn new ones. Terms encountered for the first time can be learned by using the meaning, connotation and simulation properties of previously known terms. Such a learning method will be more permanent as well as more effective. Learning medical terms using previously known words can be utilized as a new method in educational life. In this study, we aimed to present this new method with examples to contribute toward a more effective method of teaching medical terms.
