Educational environment not only has an impact on the students during the academic years but has its reflections throughout their medical career. The Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) is an internationally accepted useful tool to analyse undergraduate educational environments in the health professionals. The purpose of this study was to assess how students, across all the five years in a private medical college, perceive their educational environment.
It was a cross sectional study, which used the DREEM inventory at Wah Medical College over the course of 6 months (January-June 2015). All 500 students were included in the study. The fifty items DREEM inventory, having the maximum score of two hundred indicating ideal educational environment was used for data collection.
The questionnaire was completed by 400 undergraduate medical students (response rate 80%). The overall DREEM score was 122.63/200 (61.3%), indicating that the perception of the learning environment was more positive than negative. Among the highest scoring categories were students' participation in classes, relaxed atmosphere and confidence in passing the annual exams. However, many areas requiring improvement were also brought to attention.
Overall, the student's perception of their learning environment at Wah Medical College was found to be positive. This study did bring to light some areas that could be improved upon. This should enable the faculty to adopt changes in their teaching methods to make the learning process more productive and enjoyable for future students.
教育环境不仅在学年期间对学生有影响，而且在他们整个医学职业生涯中都有体现。邓迪准备就绪教育环境量表（DREEM）是一种国际认可的用于分析健康专业人员本科教育环境的有用工具。本研究的目的是评估一所私立医学院校所有五个年级的学生如何看待他们的教育环境。
这是一项横断面研究，在瓦赫医学院历时6个月（2015年1月至6月）使用DREEM量表。该研究纳入了所有500名学生。使用满分200分表示理想教育环境的50项DREEM量表进行数据收集。
400名本科医学生完成了问卷（回复率80%）。DREEM量表的总体得分是122.63/200（61.3%），表明学生对学习环境的看法是积极的多于消极的。得分最高的类别包括学生课堂参与度、轻松的氛围以及对通过年度考试的信心。然而，许多需要改进的方面也受到了关注。
总体而言，发现瓦赫医学院学生对其学习环境的看法是积极的。本研究确实揭示了一些可以改进的方面。这应该能使教师改变他们的教学方法，让未来的学生学习过程更有成效且更愉快。
