The Medical Specialization Education Entrance Exam (TUS), one of the most important milestones in the careers of thousands of young doctors who graduated from medical schools, is entering a new phase with the first-term results of 2025. The results of this exam, which was held on March 1 and represents the first step in the candidates' specialization journey, were made available by the Evaluation, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) today, April 23. The results of this exam, for which the candidates sweated after a long and intensive preparation process, will be an important determinant that will shape their future professional lives.
TUS is a mandatory exam for physicians who want to receive specialization training in training and research hospitals affiliated with the Ministry of Health or in medical schools of universities. The exam, which is held in two separate sessions as the Basic Medical Sciences Test and the Clinical Medical Sciences Test, aims to comprehensively measure the knowledge and analytical thinking skills of the candidates. The answer keys published immediately after the exam provided candidates with the opportunity to evaluate their own performance. However, the most eagerly awaited moment came with the announcement of the results.
The results, which are accessible through ÖSYM’s official website, sonuc.osym.gov.tr, can be viewed by candidates logging into the system with their Turkish ID number and candidate password. On the results screen, candidates can examine in detail the total score they obtained from the exam, as well as the number of correct and incorrect answers in both tests. This information is of great importance for candidates to understand their own success levels and make more informed decisions during the selection process.

With the announcement of the TUS results, a new marathon begins for thousands of young doctors: the preference process. Based on the scores they obtain, they will determine the areas of expertise they are interested in and think are suitable for their abilities and create their preference lists. Many factors such as quotas, score rankings and personal expectations will play an important role in this process. Since specialization training means deepening one’s medical career and becoming competent in a certain field, this preference period stands out as a critical decision-making phase that will shape the candidates’ future professional identities.
ÖSYM organizes TUS twice a year, offering doctors multiple opportunities for specialization training. While the results of the first exam of 2025 have been announced, preparations for the second term exam have already begun. Applications for the second term TUS exam, which will be held on August 17, will be accepted between July 2-2. This means a new hope for candidates who could not get the results they wanted in the first exam or who want to focus on different areas of specialization.
The announcement of the TUS 1st term exam results has created great excitement and movement in the medical community. While young doctors open a new page in their specialization journey with the results they obtain, the selection process will also play a decisive role in the formation of their careers. The results screen that ÖSYM has made accessible offers detailed information that will guide candidates during this important process. For thousands of doctors who want to specialize in medicine, this “intermediate” period is a sign of hopes for the future and new beginnings.
