BACKGROUND: Medical student colorectal cancer prevention education is crucial to improving cancer screening rates. METHODS: We surveyed 146 medical students about their knowledge, confidence, and experience with colorectal cancer screening. We then used a multivariate general linear model to assess the relationships between these variables and colorectal cancer screening skills as measured in a standardized patient evaluation. RESULTS: Type and amount of experience providing colorectal cancer screening counseling predicted student performance in the standardized patient encounter, although knowledge and confidence did not. CONCLUSIONS: Increased practice performing cancer screening may improve medical students' ability to implement cancer prevention strategies with patients.
