Abstract

Objective To investigate the knowledge of medical students and their perception on adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting and pharmacovigilance. Methods Cross-sectional study was carried out on clinical or preclinical year medical students using paper-based questionnaires during their coursework. Key findings There were differences between the two groups in responses relating to ADR reporting (preclinical 3.3 versus clinical 3.7; P < 0.01) and reasons for not reporting a suspected ADR (preclinical 3.4 versus clinical 3.8; P = 0.001). Conclusions Medical students from clinical years had higher knowledge of ADR reporting. The perception on ADR reporting by clinical year students was significantly higher.
