Our Vocational School began its educational activities in 1989 under the name Erciyes University Health Services Vocational School. It moved to its new building, constructed by Kayseri philanthropist and businessman Hüseyin Bayraktar, at the beginning of the 1995-96 academic year, and its name was changed to Halil Bayraktar Health Services Vocational School, continuing its educational activities under this new name. The Council of Higher Education, in its letter dated 12/01/2026 and numbered E-75850160-101.02.05-1989, deemed it appropriate to change the name from Halil Bayraktar Health Services Vocational School to Health Services Vocational School, in accordance with Article 7/d-2 of Law No. 2547, as amended by Law No. 2880. The Medical Imaging Techniques Program was established on November 21, 1989, under the name "Radiology" and was restructured under the "Medical Services and Techniques" department and renamed "Medical Imaging Techniques" by a decision of the Higher Education Executive Board on April 15, 2009. Since its establishment, the program has graduated 908 students. A total of 1263 students have been enrolled, and currently, 169 students are actively participating in the program. Three faculty members are involved in the program's implementation. Furthermore, students gain field experience by conducting their practical courses in all radiology units (X-ray, CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging, angiography, etc.) at the Erciyes University Health Application and Research Center and the Dentistry Application and Research Center. The Medical Imaging Techniques Program offers a balanced curriculum combining theoretical and practical courses. Within the program, students have the opportunity to develop their professional skills through practical training in a hospital environment in applied courses such as "Medical Imaging Techniques and Practices I-II-III and IV" and in the 20-day summer internship required for graduation.
