Assessment of the relevance of the specific scientific skills at Postgraduate doctoral study of Biomedicine and Health in Osijek

Education and creation of a successful and independent scientist with the specific skills obtained are the one of the most important goals of postgraduate doctoral study of Biomedicine and Health. A total of 42 PhD students at the Faculty of Medicine Osijek filled an anonymous online Questionnaire for evaluating the relevance of the specific scientific skills at the Postgraduate doctoral study of Biomedicine and Health in Osijek. Students were asked to rate the importance of skills mentioned in the questionnaire by indicating their level of agreement along the Likert scale. There was significantly more full-time students in advanced stage of their doctoral research comparing to part-time students in early stage of thesis preparation in the study (Chi-Square, p <0.05). There were no statistical differences between these groups of students when it comes to the attitudes towards various specific scientific skills. Most of the assesed skills are evaluated as very important or imporant by all the participants, with slightly lower importance given to the skills related to education of students and ability to objectively evaluate students knowledge. Consideration should be given to offer additional courses for acquiring specific scientific skills individually tailored to PhD student needs.
