Yasemin Bahar
She is an aspiring internist whose passion for medicine stems from her personal experiences. These experiences shaped her understanding that being a well-educated and intelligent physician alone is not enough to save lives. A truly effective physician must also deeply understand the social determinants of health that impact their patients. This realization inspired her to pursue a commitment to Health Equity and Justice in Medicine, striving to become not only a knowledgeable and well-rounded physician but also an advocate for equitable care.
She earned her MD degree from Hacettepe University Medical School, the top medical school in Türkiye. Outside of medicine, she enjoys watching historical films and challenging her husband in cooking and sports. She takes great pleasure in preparing meals for her friends and neighbors and has a background as a folk dancer. She is married to Dr. Bahar, who shares many of her interests.
