Doctors-in-training get death duty lessons: will they accept them?
NCT ID NCT06910176
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether medical students in their final year find it acceptable to receive training on how to certify a death and how to tell a family that their loved one has died. Twenty students from the University of Strasbourg will be asked about their views. The goal is to see if such training should be offered before they start working as residents.
