Medicinska fakulteta Univerze v Mariboru - mnenja študentov o študiju
Smo dobri ali slabi, kje smo v primerjavi z drugimi? To so vprašanja, ki se nam vedno znova postavljajo. Kaj je tisto, kar nas bo naredilo boljše, nas popeljalo v svet najboljših?
Obstajajo različni sistemi za razvrščanje univerz in fakultet, obstajajo številni seznami najboljših univerz. Želja nas vseh je, da se naša univerza uvrsti na seznam najboljših, da se njena ocena iz leta v leto izboljšuje in da Medicinska fakulteta kot ena izmed članic Univerze v Mariboru bistveno prispeva k temu.
Pri vrednotenju univerz se uporabljajo različni kazalniki. Najcelovitejša lestvica razvrščanja in ocenjevanja univerz na svetu je Webometrics Ranking of World Universities, ki vključuje več kot 26.000 visokošolskih izobraževalnih ustanov. Revija Times Higher Education tako od leta 2004 objavlja seznam najboljših univerz. Pri ocenjevanju oz. razvrščanju ocenjuje temeljno poslanstvo univerze, to pa so poučevanje, raziskovanje, vpliv objavljenih del, prihodki iz sodelovanja z industrijo in mednarodna vpetost.
Rezultati Times Higher education World University Rankings so pokazali, da je Univerza v Mariboru v primerjavi z rezultati ocenjevanja med univerzami, kot so Univerza v Ljubljani, Univerza v Beogradu, Univerza v Gradcu, najslabša na področju poučevanja in raziskav, na izjemnem zavidljivem drugem mestu glede citatov, kjer je sicer Univerza v Gradcu v močni prednosti, in na drugem mestu glede industrijskega priliva. Glede mednarodne vpetosti je Univerza v Gradcu v močni prednosti, z ostalimi univerzami smo približno enaki.
Faculty of Medicine, University of Maribor - the students' perspective
Are we good? Are we not so good? How are we compared to others? These are the questions we keep asking ourselves. What is it that will make us better and lead us to become the best?
There are different systems for ranking universities and faculties as well as different lists of top universities. It is a common desire for our university to be among the best and grow each year, and the Faculty of Medicine, as a member of the University of Maribor, to contribute to this growth.

Študentska anketa na Medicinski fakulteti za obdobje 2014 do 2016 je pokazala, da je zadovoljstvo študentov ustrezno. Vprašanja so se nanašala na 12 parametrov, in sicer na ponujene tečaje, organizacijo študija, podporo s strani učiteljev, študij v tujini, knjižnico, industrijske vire, prostore, usmerjenost k raziskavam, razmerje med kliničnim in predklinič-nim delom, simulacijske centre, učenje ob postelji, vključitev praktičnih izkušenj.
Večina študentov, kar 92 %, je izrazila, da so najbolj zadovoljni s prostori fakultete, kar nas ne sme presenečati, saj je Medicinska fakulteta zgrajena na eni najlepših mestnih lokacij in razpolaga z vrhunsko opremo.

A student survey at the Faculty of Medicine for the period 2014-2016 showed that satisfaction among students is appropriate. The questions were based on 12 parameters related to the courses available, organization of the study, support from teachers, study abroad, library, industrial sources, premises, orientation towards research, relations between clinical and pre-clinical work, simulation centres, training at bedside, and inclusion of practical knowledge.
Most students (92%) stated that they were most satisfied with the faculty's premises, which is not surprising, as the Faculty of Medicine was built in one of the most attractive city locations and uses top equipment. Clinical and pre-clinical training, workshops and training at bedside were evaluated as good by 61%-69% of students. 50%-60% of students rated the organization of courses, lectures, study abroad, re-

Poslanstvo univerze oz. njene posamezne članice je poučevanje, raziskovanje, vpliv objavljenih del, prihodki iz sodelovanja z industrijo in mednarodna vpetost. Posamezna članica lahko veliko prispeva k skupnemu deležu. Zelo veseli in hkrati ponosni smo, da nam je uspelo, da je mesto Medicinske fakultete Univerze v Mariboru med članicami med bolj prepoznavnimi.
Ne smemo pozabiti, da je za vse te dejavnosti izjemno pomembno, kako dolgo posamezna članica že deluje znotraj univerze. Za Medicinsko fakulteto kot eno izmed najmlajših članic je vsakoletna ocena še toliko pomembnejša. Pokaže nam, kje smo, kaj delamo slabo in kaj dobro. Pokaže nam naša najšibkejša področja, področja, o katerih moramo razmisliti in jih izboljšati, če je to možno.
Vsakoletna evalvacija in predvsem mnenja študentov so tisto, kar nas vodi k pregledu in analizi rezultatov ter ustreznemu ukrepanju. Mnenje študentov je objektivno merilo naše pedagoške, strokovne in znanstvenoraziskovalne dejavnosti. Naloga učiteljev je, da k temu ustrezno prispevajo, vsak po svojih zmožnostih, naloga učencev je, da nam kažejo pravo pot.
Cilj? Z velikimi koraki naprej, k skupnemu in uresničljivemu cilju nas vseh.
search and inclusion of practical experiences as good. Orientation towards research received the lowest rating (45%).
The mission of the university or its individual members is education, research, impact of published works, industrial inflow and international involvement. An individual member can contribute enormously to the common share. We are very pleased and proud that the Faculty of Medicine in Maribor is one of the most recognisable members of the university.
We should not forget how important the period an individual member has been functioning within the University of Maribor is in terms of these activities. Being one of the youngest members of the university, each annual score is very important for the Faculty of Medicine. It shows us our current status and whether what we do is good or not so good. It points to our weakest fields in which we need to reconsider and improve if the opportunity arises.
The annual evaluation and students' opinion are guiding us towards a review and analysis of results. The students' opinion is an objective measure of our educational, professional and scientific research activities. It is the teachers' task to contribute to it appropriately, each according to their abilities, and the task of students to show us the right direction.
Goals? Taking large steps forward to our common and achievable goal.
