Abstract
Background and Purpose: Determined outcomes in education are based on the ultimate expectations from the medical graduates.Methods: One hundred and two medical school graduates of the last 4 years of universities located in a city were asked in 2015 to self-evaluate themselves according to 42 expected skill outcomes. These 42 procedures were approved in 2007, by expert panels of Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education.Results: Mean score of 42 procedures according to self-evaluation in overall respondents (n=102) was 11.5±2.1. Just in 31% (13 out of 42 procedures), the scores were in the acceptable range of above 15.Conclusions: Graduates evaluate themselves weak in 69% (29 out of 42 procedures). If their self-evaluation is real, clarifying the causes might be a key to educational improvement.
