My name is Dr. Tuğçe Gültepe Zorlu. I have been working as a resident doctor in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology (ENT), Head and Neck Surgery at Prof. Dr. Cemil Taşcıoğlu City Hospital in Istanbul, Türkiye since 2022.

During my residency, I have actively participated in both clinical practice and academic activities. I have attended numerous national and international conferences, where I have had the opportunity to expand my knowledge, follow current developments in my field, and engage with the scientific community. In addition, I have presented my research at various congresses through both oral and poster presentations.

I am interested in multiple subspecialties of otolaryngology, with a particular focus on rhinology.

Below, I present the conferences I have attended, the presentations I have delivered, and my published studies under separate headings.
