Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine students' perception of the educational environment of medical schools in Korea.
Methods A total of 9,096 of 12,035 students (75.6%) responded to our questionnaire. This study was conducted at the end of the 2013 academic year using the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) at 40 medical schools in Korea. DREEM comprises five domains: students' perceptions of learning (SPL); students' perceptions of teachers (SPT); students' academic self-perceptions; students' perceptions of atmosphere; and students’ social self-perception. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and one-way analysis of variance.
Results The overall mean DREEM score was 113.97 (of 200), and the scores for the 40 medical schools ranged from 100.24 to 134.32. The overall mean and domains scores of the DREEM differed significantly between educational systems, grades, genders, and academic achievement levels. Graduate-level medical students had higher scores for the DREEM and its five domains than undergraduate medical students. The scores were lowest in second-year students (mean, 111.80). Male students' perceptions were significantly higher than those of female students except for SPL and SPT. High academic achievers' perceptions were also greater versus low academic achievers.
Conclusion Students' perceptions of their educational environment are positive in Korea. The learning environment should be evaluated by curriculum planners and administrators of medical schools to improve its quality.

PURPOSE We changed a lot of the medical curricula to accept the freshman of graduate medical students in 2009. We surveyed the satisfaction of new medical curricula from graduate medical students.
METHODS We analysed the returned questionnaires from 118 freshmen of graduate medical students.
RESULTS The number of boys and girls was 56 (47.5%) and 62 (52.5%), respectively and of married students was 10 (8.5%).
The graduate students thought that the future prospect was very positive and positive in 40.7%. The 77.1 percentages of medical students understood about 40~80% of the basic medicine. The satisfaction of medical curriculum was average 3.30 by Likert scale. The satisfaction of the professor who have enough information to the subjects was 4.00 and of integrated subjects which were organically related without repetition was 2.85 by Likert scale. Graduate students asked to strengthen clinical medicine lecture and practice.
CONCLUSION Generally, the satisfaction of the new medical curricula was positive in graduate students. But the satisfaction of the contents of the integrated subjects was lowest and so we have to check the organic relationship of integrated subjects.
