General practitioners, within their primary healthcare role, play a vital role in the cervical cancer screening program, as they are the healthcare professionals most easily accessible to the general population. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, HPV vaccination, and cervical cancer screening among last-year medical students.  \nMethods A cross-sectional study was conducted among sixth-year medical students using an electronic selfadministered questionnaire. The two-part questionnaire comprised demographic data and 12 true/false questions that assessed knowledge regarding HPV infection, HPV vaccination, and cervical cancer screening recommendations. Pilot testing revealed a high Cronbach’s alpha and test–retest reliability coefficient.  \nResults A 67% response rate was achieved. Among the 198 respondents, only one (0 . 5%) student correctly answered over 80% of the questions while most respondents (172, 71 . 7%) correctly answered less than 60% of the questions. Less than half of the respondents correctly identified crucial aspects such as the primary cause of cervical cancer, recommended vaccination age, cytology sensitivity compared to HPV testing, and the recommended screening frequency for average-risk women.  \nConclusions This study highlights a significant lack of comprehension among Thai medical students concerning HPV infection, vaccination, and cervical cancer screening guidelines. Encouraging educational enhancement, effective communication, and heightened awareness of these crucial topics within the medical school curriculum are imperative.  \nKeywords Human papillomavirus, Cervical cancer, Screening, Prevention, Knowledge, Medical student  \n*Correspondence: Nakarin Sirisabya[drnakarin@hotmail.com](drnakarin@hotmail.com)  \n1Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, 1873 Rama IV Road, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand  \n2Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, 1873 Rama IV Road, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand  \n© The Author(s) 2024.
