AbstractBackground: Professional competency of graduates of an institute reflects its teaching and learning environment (TLE). This study aimed to provide a preliminary assessment of the TLE at the College of Medicine at Majmaah University. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted during the 2019-20 academic year among students at the College. A validated scoring tool “the Experience of Teaching and Learning Questionnaire” (available at https://bit.ly/3sVBuEw) was used. The mean score of each section and statement, the difference between the mean scores of different demographic groups, and correlations between sections were analysed. Results: A total of 234 (72.2%) enrolled students participated in this survey, with a male-to-female ratio and a ratio of participants from basic to clinical years being 2:1 and 1:1, respectively. Most participants reported a GPA of above 3/5. The overall mean score was 3.52/5 points. Section one “approaches to learning and studying” has the highest mean score (3.68), and no section scored a mean below three, though section three “demands made by the course” scored a borderline mean of 3.08. Students in clinical years had a significantly higher overall mean score compared to their counterparts (3.66 vs. 3.39, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Students at the College had a positive perception of the TLE, but face challenges in coping with the demands of acquiring knowledge and subject-based skills, and in appreciating the TLE especially during basic science years, highlighting the need for an atmosphere that allows them to meet demands and develop greater appreciation.
