The request for assisted suicide – a challenging topic to teach in medical education. Project report on a compulsory elective course at the Aachen University Hospital

The participants displayed an open attitude toward assisted suicide as a form of medical care. At the same time, they felt unprepared and fearful of the responsibility that comes with receiving requests for assisted suicide. In order to gain a better understanding of the students' perspectives and fears, a comparative analysis of the digital course and semi-structured student interviews are currently underway.
