University of Kentucky College of Medicine Graduating Seniors' Satisfaction with Their Medical Education--May 1994.
Witzke, Donald B.; And Others
This study surveyed 1994 graduates (N=91) of the University of Kentucky College of Medicine (UKCM) regarding their satisfaction with the medical education they received at the school. The Class of 1994 was the last to finish before the implementation of a curriculum reform initiative designed to increase active student learning, integrate classroom and clinical knowledge, and promote self-assessment and life-long learning. Graduates were surveyed by telephone or mailed questionnaire. Although 96 percent of the respondents were generally satisfied with their educational experience at UKCM, five specific areas were identified where graduate responses implied a need for improvement in the educational process: (1) patient risk assessment and wellness education; (2) student evaluation; (3) integration of basic and clinical content; (4) issues relating to the cost of medical care; and (5) the use of computer technology. Contains four graphs and two tables. (MDM)
