Abstract
Purpose: The educational environment has a large influence on the success of medical education and overall outcome. There is little data on how the Saudi urological trainees perceive the educational environment in the hospital and the process of obtaining their skills. We conducted our study using validated questionnaire to evaluate the hospital teaching environment for urology residents in Saudi Arabia. Methods: We have used the postgraduate hospital educational environment measure (PHEEM) to evaluate the perception of the hospital educational environment for residents of urology program. The results are compared between different regions of Saudi Arabia, different health sectors, and level of residency Results: A total of 57 (55.9%) out of 102 registered residents responses were received. Overall, the residents perceived a good impression (98.2 ±18.3) but there is room for more improvement. There was a significant differences in perception among residents of different regions as the southern region has the lowest score (74.8 ± 22.9 p-value =0.01). Residency level significantly affected the perception of role autonomy (P-value=0.01), and overall score (P-value=0.02). However, residents of different health care sectors did not differ significantly in their scores. Conclusion: Perception of educational environment by Saudi urology residents is reaching a satisfactory level but there’s still room for improvement. However, there is a variation of perception results between Saudi regions.
