Study habits and attitudes are thought to have a significant impact on students' academic performance, and it is assumed that "excellent" study habits will result in "good" academic results. As medical students prepare to become physicians, having the right attitudes can have an influence on the standard of care they provide to their patients. Few longitudinal research studies have examined the degree to which the attitude of pupil’s ratings change as they progress through medical school. This study looked at how a large student cohort's attitude ratings changed as they advanced through medical school. It was also looked into whether student gender affected attitude change. This research included medical trainees from three successive classes (1999-2001). The Medical Skills Questionnaire, an internal tool, and the Attitudes Toward Social Issues in Medicine (ATSIM) survey were both completed by students. Total and subscale attitudinal score reliability estimations fell within a reasonable range. A sustained reduction in various attitude scores was seen as pupils moved through means of the medical education programme, based on multivariate studies of the variation of the mean attitudinal ratings. Compared to men, women scored better on attitudes. As a consequence, as medical school students progress, their attitude ratings decline. Although the causes of the change in terms of attitude are not entirely evident, they may be related to a ceiling of excellent attitude ratings upon admission, a decline in idealism, and the effects of the unanticipated curriculum. More research is needed to determine how medical education affects students' opinions.
