Background: Biostatistics is an important discipline for the analysis and interpretation of data in medical research and decision making in clinical practice and public health. However, the level of knowledge and attitudes of students towards this discipline may not be optimal and may even generate rejection. Objective: measure knowledge and attitudes towards biostatistics in medical students who took the subject virtually at UPCH. Material and methods: the study was descriptive cross-sectional. The sample was selected using non-probabilistic sampling. The technique was the survey and the instruments used were the Novack questionnaire for the knowledge variable and the Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics-28 instrument to assess attitudes, reliable with KR20 of 0.638 and Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.824, respectively. Results: level of knowledge with an average of 4.01 ± 2.28 and attitude towards biostatistics of 4.22 ± 0.69. The extracurricular biostatistics courses factor was associated with the knowledge variable with p=0.035, and with the attitudes varibale with p=0.025. An association 9was found between the age factor and the attitudes variable with p=0.045. Conclusions: It was concluded that there is a relationship between the variables knowledge and attitude towards biostatistics in medical students who took the subject virtually at UPCH, with Spearman's rho=0.207 and p=0.021.
