Abstract
A medical school curriculum in “Death and Dying” evolved through a number of catalysts. A study demonstrated medical students’ reactions to human dissection and their responses led to a design for an “Orientation to Human Dissection.” These events, other simultaneous catalysts, and the resulting curriculum in Death and Dying are described. Evaluation of the course, types of elective studies, and a memorial service are discussed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
