Abstract
Objective: To measure medical students' perceptions of their educational environment and to determine the potential differences in those perceptions with regard to gender and the year of study.
Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the College of Medicine, Dar Al Uloom University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2018-19, and comprised medical students enrolled at the college. Data was collected using the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure scale. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.
Results: Of the 262 students approached, 191(73%) responded. The total mean score was 122.49 +/- 21.50. Perception of educational environment was higher for male students and advanced-level students (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The findings illustrated a healthy educational environment.
