Background: In February 2020, the German Federal Constitutional Court revoked a law that had made assisted suicide (AS) a potentially punishable offense. As a result, appropriate legal regulations for AS, including physician-assisted suicide (PAS), must be made. The medical curriculum should be adapted correspondingly. ⋯ Most participants had only limited knowledge of the legal situation. Conclusions: Medical students are largely in favor of PAS. A structured and interdisciplinary approach to PAS education is needed.
