Turks believed in a polytheistic religion, namely Shamanism, before Islam. This religion is a religion with regard to nature. Ottoman physicians were educated in the form of master- apprentice. The responsibility of the physician was examined both by the Islamic Penal Code and by Ottoman Lawbooks in the Ottoman period. Some interesting characteristics were found in some medical manuscripts and some documents in the period of the Ottoman Turks. Afterwards, the responsibility of the physician showed a modern characteristic and some modern laws came into force. An education in the type of medrese (an Islamic High School) was seen in the Islamic World in the Middle Ages. A Medrese was a kind of high school, and this foundation was also seen in the field of medicine. The persons who graduated from medreses got their diplomas in the name of educator in the period of Otoman Turks. The period of high school began with the foundation of Tıphane and Cerrahhane-i Amire (Medical and Surgical School) in 1827. So, some modern laws were passed about the responsibility of the physician. So, today, a physician is responsible in all the medical practices according to Turkish Criminal Law, The Turkish Obligation Law, Turkish Civilian Law, Medicine and Its Branches’ Law, Turkish Medical Ethics Regulation, Health Protection Law, Turkish Medical Association.
