    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Curriculum Development
    • Student Feedback

    Background:

    • Assessing medical student perspectives is crucial for curriculum refinement.
    • Understanding career intentions (general practice vs. hospital) can reveal differing educational needs.
    • Comparing educational pathways (5-year vs. 6-year programs) informs curriculum structure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate final-year medical students' views on their curriculum.
    • To compare perceptions between students entering general practice and hospital medicine.
    • To analyze differences based on enrollment in 5-year versus 6-year medical programs.

    Main Methods:

    • A postal questionnaire was administered to 75 final-year medical students.
    • Student responses were analyzed based on intended career path.
    • Data were compared between students from 5-year and 6-year courses.

    Main Results:

    • Analysis revealed distinct student views on the medical curriculum based on career aspirations.
    • Significant differences in curriculum perception were observed between students aiming for general practice and hospital careers.
    • Students from the 5-year and 6-year programs reported varied experiences with the curriculum.

    Conclusions:

    • Medical curriculum feedback varies significantly with students' future specialty choices.
    • The structure of the medical program (5-year vs. 6-year) influences student perspectives.
    • Curriculum designers should consider specialty intentions and program length to optimize medical training.
