Abstract

German medical students hold a primarily positive attitude towards abortion and show willingness to offer abortion care. However, the evaluation of the curriculum offered within their studies indicates a need for improvement, to sufficiently represent abortion and emergency contraception, with the aim of training and educating future abortion providers in accordance with current medical guidelines.
