This study aimed to assess the viewpoints of medical students about the methods for improvement of education of medical parasitology and mycology's module. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out on medical students at Babol University of Medical Sciences in autumn 2010. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of medical students who passed the course, participated as easy and available allocation procedure and filled a self-constructed questionnaire. Questionnaire, s validity and reliability were confirmed with a Cronbach alpha 0.7 and expert’s opinions, respectively. Chi-square was used for data analysis. FINDINGS: In overall, 91 participants filled the questionnaires (response rate = 76%) fifty seven (62.6%) were female and 34 (37.4%) were male. The mean age of participants was 21.66±38 years.
