This regulation updates the rules governing joint use of health facilities between the Turkish Ministry of Health and state universities, particularly for medical and dental faculty training. Key updates include redefining the education supervisor role, introducing the Hospital Coordination Board as a formal entity, and allowing two-year renewable contracts for university academic staff to deliver both education and healthcare services. Contracts can be terminated after three written warnings or immediately in serious cases listed in Law 3359. If a medical specialization training program fails to obtain at least four accredited training clinics within two years, the protocol may be terminated. Disciplinary procedures for joint-facility staff are now determined by the Hospital Coordination Board.
