Abstract

In Turkey in recent years there has been a growth in interest in the basic sciences amongst medical staff.The best indicator of this is the increase in the numbers of general practitioners who are choosing the basic sciences as their specialist areas.There are various reasons for this, including the fact that the number of general practitioners has increased in the last decade, that staff tenure has been increased in the basic sciences and especially because clinical branches have enough doctors and are saturated.In our survey,using a group of general practitioners living in Bursa (a city in Turkey, south of Istanbul) we have tried to understand their opinions about the basic sciences and describe here some of the more interesting results of our findings.
