Abstrakt:	Background: Congenial educational environment (EE) is paramount to effective impartation of knowledge as required in residency training. In this study EE for residency training is evaluated using Postgraduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure (PHEEM). Objectives: To assess the postgraduate educational environment at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), South-East Nigeria, using PHEEM and to determine if there are significant differences in PHEEM scores amongst various sub-groups of resident doctors. Methods: A cross-sectional study, employing a census survey, involving the administration of validated PHEEM questionnaires to residents in the Departments of Internal Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynaecology, Pediatrics and Surgery in the year 2018. Data entry and analysis were done using SPSS. ANOVA assessed significance of total scores and sub-scale scores. Cronbach's alpha was calculated. Results: A total of 114 Males and 46 females; 93 registrars and 67 senior registrars responded giving 71% response rate. Overall PHEEM score was 85.82; Role autonomy (29.27), Perception of teaching (34.80), Perception of social support (21.55). Males scored more than females in total PHEEM score (p = 0.000, F = 148.235), perception of teaching (P = 0.000, F = 420), and perception of social support (p = 0.000, F = 162.95), but not in role autonomy (p = 0.748, F = 0.104). Registrars scored more than senior registrars in total PHEEM (p = 0.000, F = 67.159), role autonomy (p = 0.000, F = 25.123), Perception of teaching (p = 0.000, F = 18.042) but not in perception of social support (p = 0.31, F = 1.045). There were significant differences in total and subscale scores amongst the specialties. Cronbach's alpha was 0.915. Conclusions: Postgraduate educational environment in UNTH has more positives than negatives but with room for improvement. There are significant differences in PHEEM scores among various groups of resident doctors. Competing Interests: None
