Abstract

Background: Undergraduate medical education is part of a continuum of education and training.

Objective: This study was carried out to explore the views of intern doctors regarding the current undergraduate medical curriculum.

Methodology: A partially descriptive open ended questionnaire was distributed among intern doctors of both public and private medical colleges in Bangladesh and was returned by 663 intern doctors.

Results: Most of the participants (94%) suggested for changes in overall existing MBBS curriculum. However, they were satisfied with present pattern of administration test, present course content, duration, evaluation system and internship training. Majority of intern doctors did not experienced any difficulty in different phases. The study also reveals that most participants were in favor of 'Carry on' system and against the concept of pre-medical education.

Conclusion: Student's evaluation may prove useful if analyzed further to overcome the shortcomings of existing MBBS curriculum.
