title: Setting school-level educational goal and objectives with the modified delphi method.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to set the school-level educational goals and objectives, based on the needs analysis, by modified Delphi method.
  
  
  METHODS
  A needs analysis and workshops were performed to establish educational goals and objectives. The needs analysis comprised 3 rounds of questionnaires and a panel and reference group that compared the results. Various workshops were held to set, outline, develop, and promote the educational goals and objectives and perform a satisfaction survey.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the needs analysis, we identified 8 keywords for 'ends' and 12 for 'means' with regard to educational goals and 25 keywords for educational objectives, which were summarized in 5 factors (categories). There were significant differences between the panel and reference groups. Through the workshops, we established new educational goal and objectives that met with high satisfaction among members.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The developmental process with which the educational goals and objectives were established through a needs analysis and workshops was effective, efficient, and supportive in medical education.
