Attitudes of medical students about brain death and organ donation.

In 2006, a survey was conducted in Tehran about the attitudes of medical students in a hospital with a transplantation program.

Material And Methods: The general population, health care personnel, and medical students were surveyed, and data were extracted from interviews with 41 medical students.
