title: Death education in U.S. medical schools: 1975-1980.
abstract: Surveys from 1975 and 1980 of U.S. medical schools' offerings in death education are compared. A 95 and 96 percent return rate, respectively, for each survey revealed a slight increase in offerings in 1980. A team approach is used, with physicians and theologians most often being cited as facilitators of a lecture/discussion format.
