title: The satisfaction of the freshman of graduate medical students to the new medical curriculum: one medical school.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We changed a lot of the medical curricula to accept the freshman of graduate medical students in 2009. We surveyed the satisfaction of new medical curricula from graduate medical students.
  
  
  METHODS
  We analysed the returned questionnaires from 118 freshmen of graduate medical students.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The number of boys and girls was 56 (47.5%) and 62 (52.5%), respectively and of married students was 10 (8.5%). The graduate students thought that the future prospect was very positive and positive in 40.7%. The 77.1 percentages of medical students understood about 40~80% of the basic medicine. The satisfaction of medical curriculum was average 3.30 by Likert scale. The satisfaction of the professor who have enough information to the subjects was 4.00 and of integrated subjects which were organically related without repetition was 2.85 by Likert scale. Graduate students asked to strengthen clinical medicine lecture and practice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Generally, the satisfaction of the new medical curricula was positive in graduate students. But the satisfaction of the contents of the integrated subjects was lowest and so we have to check the organic relationship of integrated subjects.
