Objective To learn about the awareness of medical liability-related provisions of Tort Liability Act of undergraduates in medical schools, thus to provide reference for the modification of teaching plans of undergraduate medical education. Methods Between September and December 2012, we conducted a sampling survey on undergraduates of West China Medical School using a self-designed questionnaire about medical liability-related provisions of Tort Liability Act. Results Generally, students'awareness of the provisions was low, and most of the students did not have a good understanding of the provisions related to medical disputes. The respondents'knowledge of medical liability-related provisions of Tort Liability Act did not match with their grade in school and their level of medical knowledge. Most of their knowledge about medical law was learned from mass media. Undergraduate medical students had an expectation to learn more about medical law from class. Conclusion Medical law classes should be put into the teaching plans of medical education.
