Sažetak
Introduction: Postgraduate Doctoral Study of Biomedicine and Health is the highest level of education at the Faculty of Medicine Osijek. It is constantly evaluated in order to maintain suitable standards for an educational institution. The aim of this study was to assess students' satisfaction with current PhD program at the Faculty of Medicine Osijek. Matherials and methods: 60 PhD students enrolled at the program have filled an anonymous questionnaire covering several aspects of the PhD program, including prevalence of different fields of biomedicine in the curricula, quality of teaching, opportunities for advanced language course, teachers’ commitment to PhD courses and overall quality of communication between students and Faculty. They were asked to rank their satisfaction with the quality of different domains of the program with grades from 1 (insufficient) to 5 (excellent). Results: Most of the students completely (36.7%) or partially disagreed (61.7 %) that all field of biomedicine are equally represented at MEFOS PhD program. Two- thirds of students agreed partially or completely that quality of teaching at MEFOS PhD program is satisfactory. Significantly more clinician scientist agreed that advanced language courses during PhD program are important for personal development of researches, comparing to teacher or research scientist (Fischer’s Exact Test, p=0.04). Another claim that clinician scientist agreed with significantly more is that guest professors can increase the quality of a PhD program (Fischer’s Exact Test, p=0.013). Clinician scientist were also significantly more satisfied with the quality of personal communication between PhD students and Faculty (Fischer’s Exact Test, p=0.001). We have found some significant differences between male and female PhD students – male students attended formal lectures and practices less regularly than female (Fischer’s Exact Test, p=0.011), and they were more satisfied with the teachers’ dedication to MEFOS PhD program than female students (Fischer’s Exact Test, p=0, 01). Conclusion: Results of our study suggest that there is a need for introducing new courses from all fields of biomedicine. Inviting guest professors and introduction of advanced language courses would further increase the quality of the programme.
