According to the evaluation of the training, from the point of view of students majoring as Physiotherapists and Pharmacy technicians, the characteristics have been defined, and these characteristics have a prognostic value for future evaluations, as well as practical significance in determining high-quality education and training. An original survey card has been developed for assessing the opinion of the students for the purpose of acquiring deeper understanding and knowledge of the quality of the students‟ training and identifying the factors determining their satisfaction with their education and training, as well as with the expected professional development and career. This survey is aimed at presenting the opinion of students majoring as Physiotherapists and Pharmacy technicians of the quality of education and training provided by Medical College – Plovdiv, and its impact on their adequate preparation for a future career.
