Abstract

The professional behavior and clinical competence of doctor reflect a range of personal and interpersonal qualities, attributes, commitments, and values. The graduates^ perspective of them is important in helping the university to evaluate its educational outcome achievement. This study aimed to identify the achievement of clinical competence and professional development from the graduates^ perspective.
We used an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. We gather perceptions of medical graduates regarding clinical competence achievement and professional development by distributing the online questionnaire. Two hundred and six medical graduates who graduated for at least two years were included in the study. The outcomes that we evaluated were humanism-character of Muslim doctor (HCMD), cognitive competence (CC), clinical skill competence (CSC), professional behavior (PB), patient management ability (PMA), and interpersonal skill (IS). Analysis moment of structural (AMOS) was used to represent structural equation modelling regarding six variables latent with thirty-five indicator variables.
Of 206 medical graduates, they have highly positive perceptions of the HCMD (95.67%). Followed by IS (91.26%), PMA (89.53%), PB (88.47%), and CC (87.12%). Clinical skill competence was rated the smallest (81.7%) by medical graduates. Regarding factors that contribute to affecting a PMA, factors of HCMD, IS, and PB has a significant effect on PMA (p-value 0.035, 0.000, 0.00 respectively) with a critical rate (CR) value >1.96).
The aspect of HCMD and IS are two important factors that were assessed very good. According to the graduate, HCMD has met the institution^s expectations. There is a need to strengthen aspects of clinical skills and improve the cognitive abilities of medical students while participating in educational programs.
