Background: The mortality rate associated with cervical cancer has been on a steady decrease in developed countries, due to the fact that it is a preventable disease if detected early. Apart from making tools and equipment available for necessary screening, proper awareness of cervical cancer is highly recommended among females of susceptible ages. Awareness of cervical cancer remains a concern in the Caribbean. This study presents the knowledge of cervical cancer, screening practices and vaccines among female medical students at the All Saints University School of Medicine, Dominica.
