title: [The efficacy of postgraduate occupational health education: tools and results].
abstract: One of the most important aspects of the education quality assessment is to measure the efficacy of the educational process. A number of measurement tools may serve this purpose, for example forms to be completed after concluding training or postgraduate studies used to assess the educational process and for self-assessment of the competencies acquired. In the study presented, students who were completing their basic course in occupational medicine were asked to assess whether, and to what extent the completed course at large, and its individual components, contributed to acquiring (adjusting or expanding) various kinds of their competencies (knowledge, skills, etc.). The results obtained suggest the need for certain modifications in the curricula, and/or in the set of educational goals.
