Saint Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) is one of Ethiopia's premier radiology training institutions. This study aimed to trace graduates of SPHMMC's radiology program and examined their career outcomes and perspectives on the training received.
A cross-sectional study design was employed, recruiting 78 participants. Data on employment status, career outcomes, job satisfaction, and perceptions regarding the program's strengths, weaknesses, and curriculum relevance were collected through a web-based questionnaire from May 31 to June 8, 2024. SPSS version 26 was used for data processing and analysis.
The study revealed a high employment rate among SPHMMC radiology graduates, with 97% employed and 75% securing jobs within one month of graduation. Most graduates held permanent positions (86%) as radiology specialists, sub-specialists, and academicians. There was notable regional variation, with 65% working in Addis Ababa. Job satisfaction levels were 79% for radiology careers and 53% for current jobs. Satisfaction with the program overall and curriculum relevance was 69% and 96%, respectively.
High employment rates, and career and curriculum satisfaction levels might be reflective of the high market demand for radiologists in Ethiopia and the effectiveness of SPHMMC's radiology program in preparing graduates for professional careers. The regional disparity in radiologist distribution suggests underlying systemic issues that require further investigation.
圣保罗医院千禧医学院（SPHMMC）是埃塞俄比亚首屈一指的放射学培训机构之一。本研究旨在追踪SPHMMC放射学项目的毕业生，并考察他们的职业成果以及对所接受培训的看法。
采用横断面研究设计，招募了78名参与者。2024年5月31日至6月8日，通过网络问卷收集了有关就业状况、职业成果、工作满意度以及对该项目的优势、劣势和课程相关性的看法的数据。使用SPSS 26版进行数据处理和分析。
研究显示，SPHMMC放射学毕业生的就业率很高，97%的毕业生已就业，75%的毕业生在毕业一个月内找到了工作。大多数毕业生担任放射学专家、亚专科医生和院士的永久职位（86%）。存在显著的地区差异，65%的人在亚的斯亚贝巴工作。放射学职业的工作满意度为79%，当前工作的满意度为53%。对该项目整体和课程相关性的满意度分别为69%和96%。
高就业率以及职业和课程满意度可能反映出埃塞俄比亚对放射科医生的市场需求很高，以及SPHMMC放射学项目在使毕业生为职业生涯做好准备方面的有效性。放射科医生分布的地区差异表明存在需要进一步调查的潜在系统性问题。
