    Aim: The educational environment is the most significant manifestation of the curriculum. The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure questionnaire is the precise quantitative assessment tool for the EE for medical- and health-related professional schools.

    Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Chattagram Maa-O-Shishu Hospital Medical College, Chittagong, Bangladesh during the study period of 2017-2018. The DREEM questionnaire was distributed to the paraclinical and clinical students in their regular classes. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 19.

    Results: A total of 170 students responded to the questionnaire, of which 27.6% were male, and 72.4% were female. The mean total Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure score of the present study was 130.46. Paraclinical students scored statistically significantly higher than clinical students (p=0.040). Students' social self-perceptions were significantly higher for male than for female students (p<0.05). Most of the students opined that a positive learning experience (80.6%), appropriate teaching method (81.2%), and academic self-perceptions were positive (77.1%), and positive learning atmosphere (65.9%) as well as social surroundings were in acceptable range (70.6%) in Chattagram Maa-O-Shishu Hospital Medical College.

    Conclusion: The findings and evidences of the present study will hopefully provide the basis to take effective measures to improve teaching and learning environment of this medical school.

    BACKGROUND: Bacterial resistance due to antibiotic misuse is reported every day. Such threat calls for a consensus to develop new strategies to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance of bacteria. Medical doctors must play a pivotal role to control and prevent the misuse of antibiotics. There were complaints that prescribers are lacking behind in updates and advancement in the field. To address such knowledge gap, a study was conducted to know the views of interns on the current antibiotic resistance situation in a teaching hospital in Bangladesh.

    METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional, randomized, and questionnaire-based survey. Interns of the medicine, gynecology, and surgery departments of Chattagram Maa O Shishu Hospital Medical College were the study population.

    RESULTS: Out of 50 respondents, 98% would like more education on antibiotic selection. All respondents believed that prescribing inappropriate or unnecessary antibiotics was professionally unethical. Ninety percent of the participants were confident in making an accurate diagnosis of infection. Eighty-four percent of them were confident about dosage schedule. In all, 98% participants thought that antibiotic resistance is a national problem and 64% of the respondents thought that same problem also existed in their hospital. Study participants were of the view that 41%-60% of antibiotic usages are irrational in Bangladesh. Fifty-eight percent of the study population thought that antimicrobial resistance (AR) would be a greater problem in the future.

    CONCLUSION: The interns believe that there is a knowledge gap on AR. More emphasis should be given to AR and its implications in the undergraduate curriculum. Latest national and international guidelines for antimicrobial therapy and resistance should be made available to the interns.
