Background: Epistemological beliefs reflect an individual’s beliefs about the nature of knowledge and knowing. Aim and objectives: Present study aimed to do a general survey among school students aspiring to have a career in Medicine regarding pseudo-scientific information. It also aimed to identify the factors contributing to the acceptance of incomplete or biased information and the role of social media in shaping students' epistemological beliefs. Methodology: A small survey with one AP Biology class with students between the ages of 15 and 18 who were determined to pursue a career in the field of medicine in the near future. The google forms were analyzed thematically using the framework approach. Results: Most students after responding to the survey gave very little regard to the fact that articles they see online are not always 100% accurate and they blindly decide to rely on this information provided to them. A significant number of respondents acknowledged the influential role of social media in shaping their perspectives. Many students admitted to unquestionably accepting information without considering its accuracy, reflecting a troubling reliance on pseudo-scientific content. Conclusion: Prevalence of pseudo-science among high school students requires a multifaceted approach. By instilling critical thinking skills and promoting media literacy, educators can empower the younger generation to navigate the information age with discernment. This research sheds light on the challenges and opportunities in reshaping epistemological beliefs in the digital era.
