Abstract: Family medicine is a specialty with its own research topics, training curriculum and clinical functioning. The first step toward the implementation of the expected field trainings was taken in 2014, and training family health centers started to be established. The regulation has been revised in order to solve problems encountered in practice, to protect the public interest, to meet service needs and to encourage educational family health centers. In addition, it was considered necessary to expand the use of educational family health centers where family medicine specialty students are trained in the field. These regulations have been harmonized with the changes in family medicine legislation. As a result, the “Regulation on Training Family Health Centers” was published in the Official Gazette dated 28.04.2023 and numbered 32174 and entered into force. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of educational family health centers and to evaluate the revised regulation.
