Introduction: Improving clinical education can lead to adequate education for students in various clinical fields. Therefore, the evaluation of educational services is the most effective way to improve the quality of education. This study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction of the interns of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences with the educational services of the clinical departments of Zahedan Medical School.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 medical interns at the Zahedan University of Medical Sciences in 2022. The data collection tool in this study included two questionnaires: demographic information and a standard questionnaire to assess interns’ satisfaction with the quality of clinical training. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26 software, and descriptive and inferential statistical tests were performed at a significance level of P<0.05.
Results: The results of the present study showed that the highest satisfaction score was related to the emergency medicine and infectious disease departments, with means of 2.56±0.65 and 2.11±0.87, respectively, and the lowest satisfaction score was related to the gynecology and orthopedic departments, with means of 0.67±0.25 and 0.89±0.34, respectively (P =0.035). In addition, the mean overall satisfaction of interns decreased significantly with increasing age (P=0.02).
Discussion: Interns’ satisfaction was lower in major departments (e.g., pediatrics, orthopedics, and gynecology) and higher in minor departments (e.g., emergency medicine and infectious diseases). In this regard, it is suggested that attention be paid to outpatient training in educational clinics and pay more attention to clinical training time in major departments.
