Read More Introduction: Over the past years, the evaluation and accountability of universities and higher education institutions in regard to the realization of their goals and the implementation of the expected performance have turned into a major issue, and those who benefit from or are relevant to the higher education system have placed a special emphasis on the use of evaluationmechanisms. The current study aimed to determine the quality of the medical curriculum approved in 2017 based on the Kano model.Methods: The study used cross-sectional and descriptive survey designs. The statistical population included all students of medicine at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in the academic year2022/2023. Based on Morgan’s table, 240 students were selected using convenience sampling method. Field data collection and researcher-made questionnaires were used to collect data. Thequestionnaires were presented to interested and available students in person and online through a link. To analyze the data, paired one-sample t test was used with the help of SPSS 16.0 softwareand Kano’s matrix.Results: The findings of the study showed that students’expectations in the elements of Aker were more than their perceptions, and this difference was more in the elements of logic with the Mean±Standard Deviation of (16,09±2,02; 8,53±2,18), content with Mean±SD (19,62±2,46; 9,47±2,00), teaching and learning strategies with Mean±SD of (15,85±2,14; 7,36±1,89),teaching and learning activities with Mean±SD of (23,38±3,10; 11,50±2,68), and time and place of learning with Mean±SD (12,09±1,53; 5,46±1,43). Also, after examining the Kano matrix, it was found that the most felt needs of the students in the classification of the Kano model were among the mandatory needs.Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that the curriculum of medicine in implementation (perception) stage does not accord with the expectations of the students, and it is necessary to pay attention to the needs and expectations of the students.

Read More Introduction: There are two popular methods of clinical skills teaching. One is Peyton’s method, and the other one is Robert Gagne’s method. A hybrid model which is a combination of both teaching methods is developed and implemented at Avalon University School of Medicine in Clinical Skills. The aim of the study was to evaluate the hybrid model of clinical skills teaching.Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study where a control group with a sample size of 26 was compared with two study groups; one group included 24 participants, and as the other one consisting of 16 subjects selected without randomization. All students in the class were included in the study, except for those withdrew voluntarily. The quantitative data were gathered in the form of a questionnaire on the Likert scale which was collected as the end of course evaluations. The quantitative data for the responses on the Likert scale was analyzed for descriptive statistics: Mean, Median, and Mode. The quantitative data also included the students’ performance on assessments of clinical skills which was analyzed using ANOVA test. The qualitative data were gathered in the form of open-ended questions in the end of course evaluations. The qualitative data were also collected from the faculty members who were the examiners for the clinical skills course as the feedback taken from them. Results: There was a significant improvement in the feedback of students (end of course evaluations) after implementing the hybrid model of clinical skills teaching which was shown by increased Mean, Median, Mode for the most pointers on the Likert scale. Also, there was a notable improvement in the performance of students with a significant p-value (p<0.05) on ANOVA test.Conclusion: The hybrid model is very effective in teaching clinical skills. This teaching method can be evaluated by replicating this study at larger institutions with more number of students.
