This article is about the trainee - tutor relationship between two
eminent figures of Turkish medical history, namely Hamdi Suat
Aknar (1873-1936) and Hulusi Behçet (1889-1948). Hamdi Suat
Aknar was the pioneer of modern pathology in Turkey. Alongside
his scientific achievements, he took educational activities seriously
and exerted a great effort to train his students as proficient clinicians
and physicians with good command of histology and histopathology.
Hulusi Behçet met Hamdi Suat Aknar when he was a medical student
and did not lose his contact with him ever since, even after becoming
an internationally well-known scientist. Hulusi Behçet mentioned his
tutor with gratitude at every opportunity and wrote a necrology full
of sincerity after his death.
