Enhancing Rare Disease Awareness and Education Among Medical Professionals and Students in Türkiye
The findings highlight a critical lack of competence in RD-related knowledge among healthcare professionals, especially non-pediatric specialists. To address this gap, we recommend integrating integrating RD-specific into medical curricula, promoting continuous professional development through specialized training events, and enhancing the visibility of reliable RD information sources. These measures are crucial for improving early diagnosis and management of RDs, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes in Türkiye.
