Underreporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is a global problem and the main reasons fornot reporting ADRs are either failure to recognize an ADR or failure to report the recognized ADR, whichcan be prevented by efficient education and training. Thus, the content on pharmacovigilance and relatedsubjects in the curricula of the medical schools was evaluated. The web pages of the 63 Turkish medicalschools that provided online curricula were evaluated for the following subjects: pharmacovigilance, toxicology,rational pharmacotherapy, drug use in special populations, good prescription writing principles, andclinical pharmacology stage. The number of hours dedicated to these subjects and the year of the course duringwhich these subjects were taught were recorded. Of the 63 medical schools, 41 (65.1%) provide pharmacovigilancecourse and 33 (52.4%) rational pharmacotherapy course for 0.5-2 hours, mostly during the 3rdyear of education. Thirty of the medical schools (47.6%) had clinical pharmacology and rational pharmacotherapystage covering personal-drug selection, and clinical pharmacology of organ-systems was mostly afive-day course during the 4th or 5th years of education. The time allocated for pharmacovigilance and relatedsubjects in the curricula of medical schools is not sufficient for the students to acquire satisfactoryknowledge on ADR and to influence their attitudes as physicians in the future. In order to improve this,more time and effort must be allocated by medical schools to pharmacovigilance and rational pharmacotherapyeducation, particularly during the later years of medical education.
