Dear esteemed guests,

As students of Hacettepe University Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, we are pleased to invite you to the "I. Uluslararası Fizyoterapi Öğrenci Congress ." We are excited to meet with national and international physiotherapy students, physiotherapists, professionals from different disciplines, and those interested in the field on October 14-15, 2023, at the ATO Kongre Merkezi. We are organizing this international congress for the first time with the aim of providing a student perspective on our profession and addressing the questions that students may have. One of our goals for this congress is to raise awareness among students and spark enthusiasm for both the profession and life. We have chosen the slogan "SAĞLIĞIN GELECEĞI, GELECEĞIN SAĞLIK ELÇILERI " for this awareness. Additionally, we aimed to enhance the production, management, planning, and sustainability skills of students that planning every detail of this congress.
By including sessions on the most requested topics, our primary aim is to reach out to physiotherapy students and physiotherapists. We believe that this congress, centered around physiotherapy students, will provide an opportunity to bring together physiotherapists from all over Turkey through a social program, facilitating the gathering of multidisciplinary knowledge under one roof and increasing awareness. Asking physiotherapy students across Turkey, "If you had the chance to organize a student congress, who would you want to see and what topics would you like to hear about?" has shaped the structure of our congress, incorporating sessions on current topics of interest, discussions on professional matters, case debates, and workshop activities.

Over the course of two days, we aim to create a rich and interactive environment, providing participants with opportunities for both learning and experiential knowledge . As the Congress Organizing Committee, we are honored to organize such an event in line with the awareness of being students in the centenary of our Republic, entrusted to us by our great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk: "O rising new generation, the future is yours. You will develop and sustain the Republic that we founded."

We look forward to meeting you in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, on October 14-15, 2023!

Congress President
