Abstract
Background: The transition from the traditional to the innovative method in medical education is currently underway, and outpatient education and training are receiving greater attention. This study was conducted to examine the state of learners' education in the clinic so that after identifying the existing flaws and obstacles, it will open the door to making the proper decisions to address the issues.
Methods: Using a questionnaire, the opinions of professionals regarding the barriers to outpatient education and the opinions of students based on the quality of outpatient education were gathered. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire have been established through expert consultation and test-retesting, respectively. Additionally, clinic visit statistics were examined.
Results: Professors chose the good and average choices for evaluating skills. In terms of clinical training environment facilities and educational opportunities, the majority chose the very poor choice. In terms of clinical training methods, they selected the average choice, and in terms of educational planning, they selected the good choice. The majority of learners chose poor and very poor choices in the questionnaire for scientific resources, clinic conditions.
Conclusion: In this study, the shortcomings of outpatient training included a lack of clinical education facilities, a lack of training in prescribing and clinic management, the inability to independently prescribe medication and treatment, a large number of patients, the absence of structured discussions, and a lack of training time.
