Objectives : This study aims to understand the students' perception of death in detail through qualitative research and to explore the necessity and direction of death education at the College of Korean Medicine. Methods : The study was conducted using a qualitative research method, Focus Group Interview (FGI). A total of 18 students participated voluntarily in this FGI. Six were pre-medical course students and 12 were medical course students at the College of Korean Medicine. FGI was conducted for 90 to 120 minutes in November 2023. Results : The students had more opinions than expected about death, and the experience of the death of a close person played a major role. Although they felt sadness, fear, and futility through such experiences, some students took death as a natural process. Most of them thought that death education was necessary in their curricula and important for emotional preparation and communication with patients as medical persons. There were many opinions that students want a place of communication where they can discuss death in-depth, and that it would be better to enter death education in the lower grades, and take fully-fledged classes in the upper grades of clinical medical education. Conclusions : Death education is essential for students to understand the death of themselves and others, and to cultivate the empathy and ethical attitude necessary to face patients’ death as medical professionals. Accordingly, it is necessary to help students develop emotional stability and professional attitude and to properly cope with the situations regarding the death of patients.
