CASTRO ORTEGA, Miriam et al. Employers’ Satisfaction with the Performance of Graduates from a Master’s Program about Research in Atherosclerosis. REMS [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.2 Epub 01-Jun-2023. ISSN 1561-2902.
Introduction:
Employer surveys are becoming increasingly important in the field of higher education, from the institutional need to evaluate the relevance of their programs and identify growth expectations, by allowing to know the existence of institutional linkage and the development of its graduates.
Objective:
To describe the satisfaction of employers with the performance of graduates from the tenth edition of a master's program about research in atherosclerosis.
Methods:
A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. The employers of the graduates from the last completed edition were selected. A self-administered survey was conducted on them to explore satisfaction with the performance of the graduates from the master's program.
Results:
The whole number of employers stated that the master's degree responded to the care, teaching and research needs of the center where the master's degree holder worked; that he/she applied the knowledge acquired in the master's program creatively and critically in his/her daily practice; and hat he/she was capable of designing and directing research projects. 94.1 % responded that, after graduating from the master's program, the master's degree holder had the capacity to design and organize professional improvement courses to solve the institutional problems. 76.5 % answered that the master’s degree met the expectations, while 52.9 % responded that they were satisfied with the performance of the graduates.
Conclusions:
Employers stated that the graduates met the profile stated in the master's program. The graduates met the expectations of their employers, who were satisfied with the performance of the graduates.
