Description:

The aim of this research project is to establish a students' perspective to most medical schools in Taiwan. We will select Medical School Graduation Questionnaires, obtained from Association of American Medical Colleges, AAMC, which has been performed in US for more than 30 years. These questionnaires will modify with edition with expert opinions of our country. We will invite students' representative of each school for survey visit and deliver questionnaires to students after complete communication and permission of their schools.
