Objective: In residency education, the educational environment interacts with each component of the training. This study is intended to assess the perceptions of family medicine residents about the educational and working environments from their point of view and to reveal their problems and expectations. Methods: In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, nationwide 434 family medicine residents' opinions about their educational environment were collected using a survey prepared by the researchers. Results:The mean age of the residents was 29.26±4.31 years. Women constituted 70.5% (n=306) of participants and 53.7% (n=233) chose family medicine career due to its working conditions. The rate of those who stated that there were no educational family health centers was 57.1% (n=248). More than half (67.5%; n=293) were satisfied with the department that they are getting education. Institutional assessment score (IAS) of those who chose family medicine for working conditions and obligations was lower than the participants who chose it because of their love and interest (p<0.001). The satisfaction score for the residency education (SSRE) was higher for those aged 36 and over than the age group 24-29 (p=0.008) and the age group 30-35 (p=0.005). Conclusions: Although more than three quarters of the participants stated that activities related to training such as articles and seminar hours were sufficient, approximately one third stated that theoretical and practical education was not sufficient. Another important result was that less than half of the residents believed that when they completed their education, they would be competent to work in all conditions.
