Ethics Grand Rounds: Life of an Anatomical Body Donor: How Principles of Clinical Consent Inform Postmortem Care in the CU Anshutz Anatomy Lab

Have you ever wondered where the dissected bodies in the gross anatomy lab come from? Who were they, and why did they donate their remains? Join Debra Szuster, Manager of the Anatomical Board of the State of Colorado, to learn how ethical considerations for caring for the living inform best practices for learning from the dead. Topics include body donation enrollment, embalming, course instruction, and final disposition of remains in the CU Anschutz Gross Anatomy Lab.

Ethics Grand Rounds represents a dynamic initiative, proudly supported by the Center for Bioethics and Humanities and run by the Clinical Ethics Education Council. Each session is crafted to showcase compelling case studies and pressing ethical issues. Through engaging presentations and lively dialogues, participants delve into the nuances of clinical ethics, fostering an environment of learning and exploration.
