Abstract :
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of receiving a master’s degree in “Rehabilitation Management” in Iran on the professional lives of graduates, as reported by them. Method: A questionnaire consisting of open and close-ended questions was e-mailed to 75 graduates and alumni of the course, graduated since the beginning of implementation of the course in Iran, from 1997 to 2003. The total response rate was 52/75. Results: Results overall indicated that 67% of graduates believed attending the Rehabilitation Management post-graduate course was worth the costs and 87% mentioned it as ‘very effective’ or ‘relatively effective’ on their present quality of job performance. Conclusion: Findings could serve as a baseline for periodic evaluations and revisions of the Rehabilitation Management curriculum in the future and also for comparisons with other management courses.
