Determining the Perceived Level of Accomplishment of Program Outcomes by Graduates of the Health Management Department: A Foundation University Example

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the alignment between the competencies gained by graduates of the Health Management Undergraduate Program at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University and the program objectives. Data were collected through an online survey from the population of students who graduated in 2016 and beyond, and the analyses were conducted using SPSS 25 software.The program objectives are grouped under three main dimensions: Social Responsibility and Ethical Awareness, Organizational Management and Strategic Thinking, and Effective Communication and Critical Thinking. These dimensions comprehensively reflect the graduates' competencies and explain 66.19% of the total variance. The findings reveal that as the graduation year becomes more recent, the job search duration shortens, and there is a positive relationship between the use of educational knowledge and job satisfaction. While gender and educational level caused differences in certain competencies, male graduates scored higher than females in communication and critical thinking skills. The results indicate that the Health Management program effectively equips its graduates to be professionally and socially competent individuals.
