To determine the perception and disposition of medical students towards critical thinking.
The cross-sectional study was carried out from July 1, 2015, to March 30, 2016, at Gujranwala Medical College, Gujranwala, Pakistan, and comprised undergraduate medical students. Student's perception about critical thinking was assessed through a self-administered questionnaire and the standard California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Of the 228 students, 191(84%) were females and 37(16%) were males. Overall mean age was 21.02±1.56 years, and 142(62%) were in the clinical years of their studies. Mean inventory score was 273.3±20. Besides, 157(69%) students perceived critical thinking as a positive thought process, while 52(22.8%) had no idea about it, and 19(8.3%) took critical thinking as a negative process.
Most medical students were found to have a positive perception but they were not disposed towards critical thinking.
