Objectives.
To investigate patients’ perception regarding medical students’ role in the operating theatre.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on a randomly selected sample at King Abdulaziz University Hospital.
Results.
131 participated in this study.
77 of the participants were females and 50 participants were males.
46.4% think that it was important for the future doctors to be in theater during surgery.
60.2% thought that medical students only observed surgeons in the theatre and 39% thought that medical students performed minor procedures in the theatre.
Conclusion.
Patients underestimated the importance of medical students’ attendance and involvement in theatre compared to bedside teaching and outpatient clinics.
Patients believed that medical students should obtain their consent prior to observing them in the theatre.
