Material and metods: in 2010-2011 academic year, 2. and 3. grade students participated to this study. in cross-sectional study, feedback of the students were collected through a questionnaire. Feedbacks have evaluated by 5-point Likert scale and open- ended questions. Data s were evaluated by PASW Statistics 18 for Windows program. In the analysis ANOVA and t test was used. Findings and Conclusions: in SDUHC, 66 midwifery (access rate % 85.7), 62 nursing (access rate % 77.5) and 71 physical therapy and rehabilitation (PTR) (access rate % 78.0) students joined the study. The students of midwifery and nursing gave highest score to course benefit for career and the students of PTR gave highest score to suitability of exam questions to course content. All of the students gave lowest score to teaching time adequacy. Compared to the others, nursing students gave significantly higher scores to the question about course benefits for career. FTR students found the amount of time allocated to the lesson more adequate higher than the others significantly. By gender there was no significant difference in the scores of all questions. in this study we found SDUHC students are generally satisfied about pharmacology courses.
