Article Abstract

The scope of medical training has expanded to encompass clinical skills and the ability to conduct and interpret scientific research. Therefore, medical students must develop an awareness of research and publication ethics to advance in their careers. This study aimed to understand medical students' perceptions of their first encounter with a research ethics committee. Qualitative methods were used to conduct three focus group interviews with students, and the data were thematically analysed. Findings revealed that the students had limited knowledge prior to their encounters, initially found the experience instructive yet challenging and negative, and later recognised its value. Students suggested enhancements to the practical and functional aspects of ethics committees and emphasised the need for ethics counselling in research.
