Evaluation has been considered as the essential ‎step in teaching processes, which is a fundamental element in each educating program. This can guide ‎the teaching process from a static mode to dynamic one. The present study aimed at determining the ‎clinical evaluation status of surgery students based on their teachers`, professors` and students` view of ‎this major in medical sciences universities of Tehran city in 2019. Methodology: This research included ‎‎106 students, 21 coaches and 13 professors of this major. Sampling was done through census method ‎and using made questionnaire including 2 parts of demographic information and clinical evaluation ‎status questionnaire, which entailed 6 dimensions (evaluation conditions, evaluation contents, ‎evaluation process, evaluation methods, scoring methods and evaluation outcomes) of Likert`s 5 points ‎scale response type. Results: In the current research, the clinical evaluation status of students was in a ‎good level based on professors` and coaches` view, but it was weak according to students. Discussion ‎and conclusions: According to the results of the study, students were greatly affected by the scores and ‎average marks. In fact, the valuation system was based on scores.
