Material and Methods: Specialization in medicine theses in the field of cardiovascular surgery published in Turkiye from 2015 to 2020 were evaluated using the Council of Higher Education Thesis Center database. For each specialization thesis, details such as the year, institution, city, study design, advisor's title, and author information were recorded. The conversion of theses into scientific publications was assessed using Google Scholar, PubMed, Dergipark, and TR Index databases based on the thesis title, advisor, and author information.

It was observed that 79 of the evaluated theses (38.7%) were turned into scientific publications.
