Cilj: Utvrditi razinu zadovoljstva studijem te percepciju profesionalnih perspektiva nakon završenog studija kod studenata medicine, dentalne medicine i farmacije. Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanju su sudjelovali studenti medicine, dentalne medicine i farmacije s Medicinskog fakulteta u Splitu u akademskoj godini 2020./2021. Stavovi i zadovoljstvo studenata su ispitani anketom koja je sadržavala 33 pitanja podjeljenih u 5 dijelova za čiju su pripremu korišteni prethodno objavljeni upitnici. Nakon prikupljanja podataka anketom provedena je statistička analiza. Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 177 studenata Medicinskog fakulteta u Splitu od čega 72 studenta medicine, 36 dentalne medicine i 69 studenata farmacije pretežno pete godine studija. Studenti svih studija najmanje su zadovoljni kliničkom stručnom praksom dok su zadovoljni ukupnom edukacijom. Studenti su uglavnom izjavili da ih zanima rad sa pacijentima, s tim da su studenti farmacije najrjeđe izrazili zainteresiranost za rad s pacijentima (78,4% studenta farmacije u usporedbi s 84,5% studenata medicine i 85,7% studenata dentalne medicine, P=0,693). Može se izdvojiti da većina studenata farmacije odabire studij radi visoke plaće (70,6% studenata farmacije u usporedbi s 57,1% studenata dentalne medicine i 31,0% studenata medicine, P<0,001). Zaključak: Studenti medicine, dentalne medicine i farmacije Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu smatraju da prezentacijske vještine nastavnika i kurikulum studija doprinose kvaliteti edukacije. Studenti sva tri studija su manje zadovoljni kliničkom praksom. Kod odabira fakulteta studentima je bitna brzina pronalaska posla, što je posebno važno studentima farmacije. Rad s pacijentima i mogućnost napretka u karijeri bitni su većini studenata.Objectives: To determine the level of satisfaction with the study and the perception of professional perspectives after graduation from students of medicine, dental medicine and pharmacy.
