Prof. Nevzat Tarhan: "The physician profession is a profession that is resistant to crisis "

President of Üsküdar University Prof. Nevzat Tarhan also attended the award ceremony and gala dinner. Mentioning that such meetings and congresses increase social and emotional intelligence, Tarhan said that "We gave awards to 5 of our friends, but to be here, even to enter the competition, is a great achievement and performance. You came from various parts of Anatolia. You have achieved results in such a scientific, peaceful, and sweet competition. There are great opportunities in the world right now for young people like you, people with a vision who are the future of humanity. There is some propaganda against physicians; however, do not be pessimistic by them. The physician profession is a crisis-resistant profession. Like the food industry, so is the health sector because society always needs it. Being in such an ancient profession will benefit you a lot in the future from the infrastructure of having a medical profession and a health profession. It is very important that you can develop yourself and express yourself not only in the field of medicine, but also in the field of social and skills. One of the purposes of these meetings and congresses is to increase social intelligence and emotional intelligence in socialization. For this reason, I say to you to continue on the path with the same excitement, the same pace and the same enthusiasm, and continue walking."
