Overview of GQ Survey
The GQ was first administered in 1978 and is an important tool for medical schools to use in program evaluation and to improve the medical student experience.
The GQ includes questions related to:
- Pre-clinical, clinical, and elective experiences
- General medical education and readiness for residency
- Student services
- Experiences of negative behaviors
- Financial aid and indebtedness
- Career intentions
- Strengths of the medical school and areas that need improvement
The Association of American Medical Colleges Graduation Questionnaire (the "GQ") is a national survey that is sent to all fourth-year medical students.
Why should I take the survey?
Unlike any other survey that you've taken during medical school, this survey covers your entire four-year experience at WSU School of Medicine! Your feedback is used to make actual changes to the curriculum and used to improve the medical school experience for future physicians.
Where do I find the link to complete the survey?
A unique link to the GQ has been sent to you from GQ@aamc.org to your SOM email address. The link they provide is individualized and private so do not share or forward it. If you cannot find the AAMC email with your link (check your junk or spam folder first), send an email to GQ@aamc.org. The survey is confidential and anonymous and takes roughly 30 - 50 minutes to complete.
Will there be any incentives for completing the GQ?
Yes!!! We are aiming for a 100% response rate so on every Tuesday during the month of April (the Final Four weeks before graduation!!!) you’ll be eligible to win some AMAZING prizes. Complete the GQ today and your name will remain in the pool for all four weeks! In order to submit your entry take a screenshot of your GQ confirmation page and submit it here.
