Evaluation of the Institutional Educational Environment by using the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of the educational climate has been highlighted as key to the delivery of high-quality medical education. Health educators across places and educational settings have widely used the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) to appraise their institutions' educational climate. OBJECTIVES: The aim is to assess the educational environment of our Institution and to find the association with the related variables. METHODOLOGY: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted using the DREEM questionnaire enrolling 527 MBBS undergraduate students. RESULTS: An inclination toward a positive environment was found in our institution, which has statistical significant association with the phase of training of the students. CONCLUSION: Positive educational environment was found in our institution. This suggests reinforcement of positive practices and scope for improvement in certain other areas.
