ackground and Objective: One of the most important educational goals in clinical rotations is mastering the future professional needs of medical students. This study aimed to assess the alignment of the neurology curriculum in the general medicine program with future professional needs, from the perspective of general practitioners in South Khorasan Province.
Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical study. The study population consisted of all general practitioners practicing in South Khorasan Province in 2024; 156 individuals were included via a census method, and ultimately, 134 completed the questionnaire voluntarily. A 17-item researcher-made questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 22) via one-sample t-tests, independent t-tests, and analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Findings: A total of 134 general practitioners participated in the study, with a mean age of 28.23 ± 1.40 years. Regarding the alignment of the neurology curriculum with professional needs, 47.8% of the physicians rated the alignment as good, 38.8% as moderate, and 13.4% as poor. Furthermore, the mean score for the alignment of all neurology curriculum topics with professional needs was higher than the theoretical mean of 1.5, and this difference was statistically significant (P = 0.0001).
Conclusions: Based on the findings, medical schools should consider societal health expectations and train students using curricula that are aligned with professional and career needs.
