Quality and success of Postgraduate Doctoral Study of Biomedicine and Health at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Osijek, Croatia

Postgraduate Doctoral Study of Biomedicine and Health at the Faculty of Medicine in Osijek offers the highest level of education for medical doctors, nurses, dentists and pharmacist. It contains a broad spectrum of courses for both clinical and basic medical researches. The goal of this survey was to examine students’ satisfaction with the postgraduate program, including communication, available teaching material and equal representation of all medical fields. 50 PhD students have filled an anonymous questionnaire covering several aspects of the PhD program. They were asked to rank their satisfaction with the quality of different domains of the program with grades from 1 to 5. Out of the total number of participants, 33 (66%) were women, half of them between age 25 and 35, and 31 (62%) of them were clinical medical researchers. Most of the participants (68%) agreed that the postdoctoral program should contain advanced course of foreign language (English or German), which was in concordance with the fact that 44 (88%) participants expressed the opinion that bringing high- quality researches from abroad would significantly improve the quality of the study. Significantly more clinical researches agreed with that claim, comparing to basic medicine or public health researches (Chi-Square, p=0.017). There were no differences in the overall satisfaction with the postgraduate program regarding age, gender, or field of research. We can conclude that although general satisfaction with the study is high, students recognize and emphasize the importance of internationalization of our study.
