Case Council 
Within the framework of TUSAD's 40th National Congress, "Case Council" sessions will be held to create an environment where physicians can discuss cases, which they encounter on the field under difficult conditions, have a hard time diagnosing and want to share with their colleagues, on a scientific platform and encouraging other colleagues to send papers to the congress.

In these sessions, cases that are classified based on subjects will be discussed in a council (10-min long), which can be attended by all of our colleagues, chaired by 2 colleagues, who are experienced in their fields, and possible solutions will be tackled.
