Abstract: Objective Investigating and analyzing the clinical medical students' evaluation on importance and satisfaction of their university, so as to find out the advantages of their undergraduate education and the areas that need to be improved. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 257 clinical medical students enrolled in 2015 in X University to evaluate on the importance and satisfaction of the university. The importance-satisfaction matrix was used to analyze the survey results. Results The total score of students' evaluation on the importance and satisfaction of undergraduate education was 3.95 and 3.82 respectively. The importance (2.91) of PBL teaching and its satisfaction (3.21) were both lower than others. The importance-satisfaction matrix showed that the courses, teachers and atmosphere of X University were in the competitive advantage area, but the scientific research training/guidance in all stages, logistics support, experimental courses and hardware facilities in basic and clinical stages, and internship in clinical stage were those need urgent improvement. Conclusions The investigated students in X University have insufficient understanding of the importance of PBL teaching. The university has advantages in curriculum, teachers and learning environment, but there is still space for improvement in scientific research training/guidance in all stages, logistics support, experimental courses and hardware facilities in basic and clinical stages and internship training.
