Summary: Abstract: The study included 202 respondents from the first year, second year and the third year medical students of FEU-NRMF. Each year level concerned was represented proportionally according to their size of population. A pre-test was conducted on 15 students of FEU-NRMF composing of 5 students per year level randomly chosen and were excluded from the actual survey. The first year students comprising the largest number of the population were represented by 89 students. The second year and the third year level had 60 students and 53 students, respectively. The study determine the existing level of knowledge and attitudes about acupuncture as an alternative healing method. Data was collected using the pre-tested self-administered questionnaire. Scores were given to determine under which category of the level of knowledge and attitudes did the respondents belong to. Single item analysis was done, as well as proportion, mean values and standard deviations for the various categories of knowledge and attitudes. Results show that the population generally had a moderately low level of knowledge (X = 46.04) and moderately unfavorable attitude ( X = 8.51 ) towards acupuncture treatment. It was disclosed that respondents lack information regarding acupuncture greatly contributing to an unfavorable response for such alternative treatment. It is recommended that this status of knowledge and attitudes be improved through educational campaigns and further scientific studies concerning acupuncture.
