This study aimed to determine the viewpoint of Ahvaz Jundishapur Medical Sciences University, midwifery students on professor's educational performance. This research is a descriptive-sectional study. In this study, data were collected by using researcher-made questionnaire, which contained 22 questions and had been completed by 50 midwifery students of Ahvaz Jundishapur Medical Sciences University in the first academic semester of 2008-09. Research findings indicated that although most indices of professor's educational performance from the point of view of students were considered as relatively optimal, but presentation and performance of clinical lesson plan was undesirable. Although, most aspects were reported as desirable and relatively desirable, but reinforcing the positive aspects and modifying defects can also be an effective step towards improving educational quality.
