The Educational Value and Emotional Impact on Medical Students After Participating in Transplant Organ Retrieval.

Introduction: Medical students and healthcare professionals lack knowledge and confidence in organ transplantation which stems in part from a lack of exposure to transplant surgery at medical school. To address this, we developed a program that allowed students to attend organ retrievals and assessed its efficacy as an educational intervention.

Methods: Students were invited to attend organ retrievals through a voluntary program.
