Methods: In this descriptive-survey study, the statistical population included 570 postgraduate students and clinical assistants in Mazandaran University of medical science in the first semester of the 2017-2018 academic year. The sample size was 234 individuals according to the stratified random sampling method. The measurement tools consisted of two questionnaires of learning styles and self-efficacy.  Data analysis was done by one-way ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc and regression tests using the SPSS-20 software.
Results: Students' self-efficacy is higher than average.

Learning styles also have a significant effect on academic self-efficacy of postgraduate students and clinical assistants in Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. In addition, the degree of self-efficacy among students with divergent learning styles is more than other styles.
