Procrastination among basic science undergraduate medical students in a Caribbean medical school.

Procrastination was regarded as a greater problem with regard to studying for exams and completing reading assignments and preparing for problem-based learning sessions. Only 42% of students were interested in attending a program to overcome procrastination. Similar studies among students during the clinical years are required. A study correlating self-reported procrastination with behavior can be carried out. Procrastination can also be studied in other offshore, Caribbean medical schools.
