We explored the knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of 330 5th year medical students in Alexandria University towards female genital mutilation (FGM). The students' basic knowledge about the practice of FGM was unsatisfactory. Students were unaware of the prevalence of FGM in Egypt and the practices and procedures of FGM. They were also poorly informed about the complications of FGM, and the ethical and legal aspects of FGM in the country. As a result, 52.0% of the students supported the continuation of the practice and 73.2% were in favour of its "medicalization" as a strategy for reducing the risks of FGM. Most students (86.9%) thought that the issue of FGM should be incorporated into the undergraduate medical curriculum.
我们探究了亚历山大大学330名五年级医学生对女性生殖器切割（FGM）的认知、信念和态度。学生们对女性生殖器切割做法的基本知识掌握情况并不理想。学生们不了解女性生殖器切割在埃及的流行情况以及其做法和程序。他们对女性生殖器切割的并发症以及该国女性生殖器切割的伦理和法律方面也知之甚少。结果，52.0%的学生支持继续实施这种做法，73.2%的学生赞成将其“医学化”作为降低女性生殖器切割风险的一种策略。大多数学生（86.9%）认为女性生殖器切割问题应纳入本科医学课程。
