Navigating Misconceptions and Building Understanding: A Deep Dive Into Medical Field Knowledge Gaps Concerning Organ Donation in Saudi Arabia

By addressing these deficiencies with focused educational interventions in medical curricula, future doctors may be better equipped to promote organ donation and have a favorable impact on public opinion.

Abstract

Although Saudi medical students had a reasonable level of general awareness of organ donation, there are still significant information gaps and misunderstandings, especially with regard to legal, procedural, and clinical elements. By addressing these deficiencies with focused educational interventions in medical curricula, future doctors may be better equipped to promote organ donation and have a favorable impact on public opinion.
