Further details:
In Incisions and Insights, familiarity with autopsy basics and your comfort level viewing the body are presumed. The class is still "sensitive" to the graphic nature of the material, but for a more advanced, medically curious group. We'll jump in quickly with views of the inside anatomy and introduce more views of the outside of the body. The seminar will explore autopsy technique for evaluating the surgical process, review operative risks, illustrate a variety of surgical outcomes, discuss factors that shape a family's perception of their loved one's surgical experience, and more.
