Turkish Medical Association (TMA) attended "The Conference on Medical Education: Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Continuing Education in Today's Europe" held on September 24, 2014 in Kos Island that has been organised by Panhellenic Medical Association. TMA attended the Conference upon invitation by Panhellenic Medical Association. A brief assessment on state of medical education in Turkey was presented. Medical education in new medical schools and problems in eminent medical schools related to increased student quotas in recent years were mentioned. It was also stated that the medical student quotas were increased continuously with the argument "there is not enough physician in Turkey" but the fact that existing quotas went beyond the needs of the country was refl ected even in off icial reports of the Ministry of Health. The negative eff ects of marketization in health were depicted with examples. Nepotism and political intervention in the posting and promotion of faculty members, the problems related to Health Sciences University were highlighted. TMA's work with medical specialty associations on quality medical education and right to health, and TMA's intention to take responsibility on these topics were stressed.
