“…This is noteworthy because after the war, it is noticeable an increase in the ratio of females in the medicine profession. (Fisher, M. L., & VanRooyen, M. J., 2004). The findings of this study suggest that students who identify as female may have different criteria for satisfaction that differs both from their male contemporaries and from historical (and maledominant) precedent.…”

Our objective is to assess the level of satisfaction of the students of the Faculty of Medicine majoring in General Medicine, in relation to the curriculum. For this study, a questionnaire with 25 questions with 5-point Likert scale answers was conducted. The face validity of the instrument was established through a focus group and expert review. No identifying information was included in the study, using implied consent. A total of 150 General Medicine students were involved in the research. Students are generally satisfied with the General Medicine program, the presentation, and implementation of the syllabus, criteria, and methods for assessment, engaging students actively, group work, developing theoretical competencies, and assistants supervising clinical practice. Students were less satisfied with the levels of training for workplaces, the inclusion of modern teaching methods, the empowerment of creativity in students, the inclusion of scientific research, and the provision of contemporary and adequate literature. There were no significant differences in responses based on grade point average, but there were some differences based on gender. The study findings provide student input into important decisions at multiple levels of governance, starting within the faculty but with implications for broader national policy. As a critical indicator of quality, these student satisfaction measures provide administrators with a basis of evidence to conduct quality improvement, including implications for academic staff development, curricular reform, and future educational research studies.
