Evaluation of the status of public health graduate education management and teaching from the supervisor's perspective
Objective To analyze the scores and differences of various aspects of public health graduate education management in China,and to provide suggestions for universities to enhance graduate education management.Methods Based on the data from the 2021 National Survey on Education Satisfaction and Job Evaluation of Medical Graduate Supervisors,we described the public health graduate education management in China from the five perspectives of student enrollment,curriculum,practice,research,and school management.The t-test and analysis of variance were used to analyze the differences in individual characteristics.Multiple linear regression was used to analyze factors influencing the scores of public health graduate education management.Results Supervisors gave the highest score to curriculum and teaching(mean score,4.00±0.77),followed by management system and input(mean score,3.97±0.87),research conditions and achievements(mean score,3.93±0.80),practical education conditions and effects(mean score,3.80±0.91),and discipline attractiveness and enrollment quality(mean score,3.70±0.84).Supervisors who supervised professional degrees,doctoral students,and located in the eastern region gave relatively high scores to public health graduate education,and those with associate professor titles gave relatively low scores.Conclusions The quality of students recruited for public health graduate education needs to be improved,curriculum design and teaching method need to be adjusted,practice conditions need to be improved,research funding is insufficient,and the construction of academic communication platforms needs to be improved.The relevant universities/colleges need to strengthen the management and increase the investment to promote the high-quality development of public health graduate education.
