The average total knowledge score was obtained 16.23 ±4.08 and the average score of knowledge among women and men were respectively 16.45±4.12 and 15.64±3.82 and the differences were significant (P= 0.05). The difference be-tween mean knowledge score was significantly different between the different educational levels (P=0.01) and additionally the average total attitude score was 14.96 ± 3.07 while attitude mean score of men and women (14.74±2.94 vs. 15.45±3.41) showed a significant difference (P≤0.05(.Conclusion: Overall, knowledge and attitudes score of the students' were not ideal and promotion of education on this issue is essential.

Background: If we accept the teaching activity is purposeful and its aim is to promote learning of persons so it must have a planned. Today, with the advancement of science in medical universities Using participatory methods and problem-based, student-centered had emphasizes.
