Abstract: A descriptive study was conducted among Family Medicine residents in various hospitals within Metro Manila regarding their knowledge, attitude and practice of Directly Observed Short Course (DOTS). A three part questionnaire was prepared which addressed the following: (1) knowledge about DOTS as to resources, manpower, drugs, duration of treatment and funding, (2) attitude towards DOTS as to their favor and willingness to participate in the program and (3) practice of DOTS within their respective hospitals. A total of 66 (82.5%) out of 80 Family Medicine residents from 12 hospitals in Metro Manila responded to the questionnaire. Among these residents, 80.3% were found to have knowledge about DOTS` resources, 69.7% about manpower, 83.3% about drugs, 22.7% about duration of treatment and 78.8% about its funding. As to their attitude towards DOTS, 90.9% are in favor and willing to participate in the program, but only 16.7% are currently practicing DOTS. Results on knowledge showed that the majority of Family Medicine residents know the proper resources, manpower, drug regimen and funding of DOTS except for the actual duration of treatment. Almost all of them are in favor of DOTS and willing to participate in the program. Although many of those Family Medicine residents favor DOTS as a method of treatment of TB, only a handful of them actually practice it.
