World Health Organisation defined workplace violence as incidents where employees are abused, threatened, assaulted or subjected to other offensive behaviour in circumstances related to their work. According to an ongoing study by the Indian Medical Association, over 75% of doctors have faced violence at work, majority of the cases were reported from emergency wards and Intensive Care Units. In the last decade, Governments of 19 states in India have passed laws for the protection of physicians. However, the law is not being effectively implemented either due to lack of awareness or resistance from administration. A questionnaire based study was conducted on MBBS students to assess their level of awareness about violence on doctors and protection laws. The knowledge among the students about these laws was very low, which could be improved if the topic "Violence on Doctors" is included in the new competency based curriculum, separately in Forensic Medicine subject.
