Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Clinic was established in October 2008 within the body of Kayseri Training and Research Hospital. 1 Professor, 7 specialists and 8 assistant doctors work in the clinic. Assistant training has continued since January 2009. To date, 9 assistant physicians have successfully completed their residency training.
With the opening of Kayseri City Hospital in May 2018, all clinics of Kayseri Training and Research Hospital were moved here, and our service consists of two wards on the 2nd floor of the General Hospital Building. The total number of beds is 36. The number of our polyclinics is 2 and the General Hospital is located on the ground floor. In addition to clinical patient follow-up, daily intensive care visits and consultation services are provided throughout the entire hospital.
In our clinic, 20 nurses, one of which is the head nurse, and a clinical secretary serve.
Infection control committee nurses monitor critical areas such as all intensive care units, disinfection-sterilization unit, operating rooms, delivery rooms on a daily basis, in addition to surveillance. On average, every two weeks, trainings on infection control are given throughout the hospital.
The training period is between September and June. Assistant training is provided in the form of articles and seminars two days a week. While preparing the training program, basic and clinical microbiology, antibiotics, classical infectious diseases and nosocomial infections are taken as the basis. For the last 2 years, the most important subject of the seminars has been Covid-19, but there have been articles and seminar trainings and courses on antibiotic management and other subjects. Assistant rotations are carried out in accordance with the Regulation on Specialization in Medicine and in a timely manner.
