Teaching, learning and evaluation in the field of psychiatry has always been considered. During the psychiatric assistantship course, learning the skill of interviewing the patient and prescribing appropriate therapies is one of the highest educational priorities. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of the Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) on improving the skills of residents.

In this cross-sectional study from the academic year 2015-2016 to 2009-2010, all psychiatry residents were tested weekly by the OSCE method according to the curriculum topics. After the test, the satisfaction of professors and residents was assessed using a questionnaire. Also, the scores of these tests were compared with the scores at the end of the year.

The mean scores of residents for OSCE and end-of-year exams were 21 ± 3.04 and 125.54 ± 18.48, respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient for the relationship between OSCE score and end-of-year score during these 4 consecutive academic years was r = 0.830 and P <0.001. The results of the survey of professors and assistants showed a high level of satisfaction with the tests.

The relationship between end-of-year scores and OSCE test scores and the results shown in the success of residents in the specialized board exam is evidence of the success of the design and implementation of the OSCE method to improve the skills of residents in OSCE evaluation.

Studentschr('39') opinions in 5 clinical areas of labor, delivery, postpartum, gynecological clinic and pediatric clinic were collected through a questionnaire one day after evaluation. The results of the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency-percentage and mean standard deviation).

Studentschr('39') opinions on how to evaluate with mean and standard deviation of 78.91 ± 13/81were at the desired level. Mean and standard deviation of gynecological clinic opinions 82.51 ± 12.37, Mother-Child Clinic 80/46 ± 12/62, Liber 79/48 ± 13/12, After delivery 77/12 ± 15/23 And delivery room was 75.02 ± 15.73 out of a total score of 100.

The opinions of midwifery students about the comprehensive exam of Ardabil School of Nursing and Midwifery are at the desired level. In addition to continuing the existing programs to improve the exam conditions and how to take the exam, other evaluation methods should be considered.

Clinical education accounts for about half of the study time of nursing students. Therefore, a recent study was conducted to determine and compare the view of nursing students of national and free universities of Yazd province on factors related to clinical learning.

In this descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study, 200 nursing students of three and four years of Islamic Azad and National Universities of Yazd province were selected by stratified random sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire "Factors related to clinical learning of nursing students". Data were analyzed by SPSS16 software, descriptive statistics and independent t-test and analysis of variance.

The overall score from the perspective of general and free nursing students out of 100 was 58.02 and 61.53, respectively. The results of independent t-test showed a statistically significant difference between the view of national and free students in the areas of evaluation (P = 0.01), professional communication (P = 0.001) and student (P = 0.005).

According to the students, all areas are at a moderate level. Therefore, it is necessary for nursing education planners and administrators to continuously review the current situation in order to identify strengths and correct weaknesses and improve the quality of clinical education, and on the other hand, national and free universities should use each otherchr('39')s positive experiences to improve clinical education.

Employment rate is an important economic concern in societies. This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitude and performance of Nano medicine graduates towards business principles.

In the present descriptive cross-sectional study, Nano medicine graduates (MSc and PhD), and their knowledge, attitude and performance towards the basics of technological business, as well as their employment status were examined using a multi-choice questionnaire.

The results showed that there was no significant difference between the studied universities in terms of the studied parameters. Overall, the frequencies of good knowledge, favorable attitude, and positive performance were 61.4%, 74.5%, and 32.6% among the master’s graduates and 45.6%, 52.7%, and 34.9% among doctoral graduates, respectively. The unemployment rate was 19.6% among the MSc graduates and 25% among PhD graduates. None of the MSc graduates were employees of private or public governmental sectors related to nanotechnology, and none of PhD graduates were employed in the private sector. In addition, this study showed that including a course of basics of business in nanotechnology was effective in improving the knowledge and attitude of the graduates by 40.1% and 25%, respectively.

The results of this study showed that although the knowledge and attitudes of graduates about the basics of business in the field of Nano medicine were acceptable, their performance was not in a satisfactory level.
