An interdisciplinary and compulsory course in death, dying and bereavement was developed in the National Taipei College of Nursing in 1994. Since then, over 400 students have completed the course each semester. The evolution of the course is described along with the development of objectives, selection of content, sequence of presentation of materials, identification of suitable instructional methods, and methods of evaluation. Evaluations of different types conducted since the course began have generally been positive about the course content, factors affecting students' attitudes, and improvement of instructional methods. A follow-up questionnaire based on the seven objectives of the course identified six objectives as having been achieved as a result of the courser a change in attitude away from avoiding talk of death-related topics, identification of personal beliefs and attitudes, giving descriptions of funeral, arrangements, the making of preparations for dying, greater willingness to think about death, identification of terminally ill patients' emotions and needs.
