A Standardized Education Program on Deceased Organ and Tissue Donation for Premedical and Medial Students in Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As the imbalance in organ demand and supply is getting worse, <1000 patients waiting for organ transplants die each year in South Korea. To enhance positive attitudes to deceased organ-tissue donation through systematic education, we developed an educational program with delivery pathways for premedical and medical students.

Methods

Online and offline self-learning educational materials on deceased organ-tissue donation were generated and posted on the Vitallink Academy YouTube site. Thirty-two pre- and 15 posteducation questionnaires were developed using a web-based survey platform, and conducted before and immediately after the education process. The education proceeded in 3 steps: (1) group study sessions on selected topics, (2) poster submissions by each group
