“…Therefore, various organizations affiliated with medical societies have endeavored to improve undergraduate curricula, because the undergraduate program is the most fundamental and important stage in medical education. Since 1983, in which The Korean Society of Medical Education was established, a number of studies on medical education have been conducted and published in Korea [3–8]. Particularly, a survey of students' satisfaction on medical education was conducted in 1995 [9] and a nationwide survey using the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) of 40 medical colleges in Korea was conducted in 2013 to identify students' perceptions of the educational environment in these medical schools [8].…”

“…Since the development of DREEM, it has been widely used with students in medical-related departments such as dentistry, nursing, chiropractic, veterinary, and physiotherapy departments throughout the world [19]. In Korea, Park et al [8] reported on the nationwide DREEM research of forty undergraduate conventional Western medical colleges and graduate schools. However, there has been no report regarding students of TKM based on the use of DREEM.…”

Background. In Korea, a few studies regarding traditional Korean medicine (TKM) education have been conducted. The aim of this study is to evaluate students' perceptions regarding TKM education in Korea and compare them with those of other countries using a quantitative scale, Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM). Materials and Methods. We conducted a survey using DREEM in a TKM college. Totally, 325 students responded to this survey and we performed the descriptive statistics of scores in all items, subscales, and total. Additionally, subgroup comparisons according to gender, school year, and academic achievement were analyzed. Results. Mean overall DREEM score was 94.65 out of 200, which is relatively low compared to previous studies. Particularly, perceptions regarding subscales of learning, atmosphere, and self-perceptions were interpreted as problematic. There was no statistically significant difference between genders in spite of some differences among groups based on school year or academic achievement. Conclusions. We could examine students' perceptions regarding TKM education at a TKM college using DREEM for which validity and reliability were verified. TKM education was perceived relatively poor, but these quantitative indicators suggested which parts of education need improvement. We expect DREEM to be used widely in TKM or traditional medical education field.

“…The overall evaluation is based on the aggregate scores, as well as the 5 subscales, and many authors include and comment on each of the 50 statements individually [1], [13]. DREEM inventory has been used to evaluate various educational environments [1], [4], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], mainly in undergraduate curricula, as well as postgraduate training [30].…”

BackgroundEssential Skills in the management of Surgical Cases – ESMSC is an International Combined Applied Surgical Science and Wet Lab course aimed at the undergraduate level. ESMSC combines interactive basic science workshops and case-based learning, with basic surgical training modules (BST) on Ex Vivo and In Vivo swine model. In Vivo Dissections include more advanced modules i.e. Abdominal Anatomy Dissections and Cardiac Transplant.AimTo evaluate the educational environment of a novel course, as well as to compare Medical students' perceptions across various groups.Materials and Methods83 Delegates from King's College London (KCL) and several Hellenic Medical Schools attended the ESMSC course. The DREEM inventory was distributed upon completion of the modules.ResultsThe mean overall score for DREEM inventory was 148.05/200(99–196, SD = 17.90). Cronbach's Alpha value was 0.818, indicating good internal consistency of the data. Year 3/4 Students have a significantly positive “Perception of Learning”, when compared to Year 5/6 (36.43 vs. 33.75, p = 0.017). KCL Students have a more positive view of the course compared to their Greek counterparts (155.19 vs. 145.62/200, p = 0.034). No statistical significant difference was noted when comparing male vs. female students (p > 0.05).ConclusionsStudents seem to positively rate the ESMSC educational environment. Junior as well as KCL students appear to be more enthusiastic. Further research should focus on the optimal strategy for early involvement and motivation of various students' groups in BST.
