Boonyanaruthee V Objective : This study aimed to find the medical students' attitude to Behavioral Science
after completing the course.
Method : Second and third year Chiang Mai medical students were asked to complete a
25-item questionaire regarding their attitude to Behavioral Science at the end of their final exami-
nation.
Results : Both mean scores of attitude were quite high. There was no difference in mean
scores for both years, but some items were answered differently.
Conclusion : Even though Behavioral Science was regarded as a crucial matter for
medical application and the results were satisfactory, many factors involving this subject, such as
the teaching system could be changed. The author suggested a possible way to make Behavioral
Science more acceptable and understandable.
