Personal Information
Specimen and Media Agreement
All cadaver material used at Practical Anatomy & Surgical Education is provided by Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Center for Anatomical Science & Education. Every specimen is tested for HIV, Hepatitis B and C. If a body is found to have one of these diseases, it is not accepted.
1. I will not photograph or video record any presenting faculty or lecture slides or any work with specimens during lab sessions. Failure to adhere to this policy may result in participant’s dismissal from the course and forfeiture of registration fees.
2. I will handle all tissues, instrumentation and supplies with care to avoid contact with my skin or mucous membranes.
3. I will wear protective gloves and goggles at all times when handling the tissues, instrumentation and supplies.
4. I will use extreme caution when using sharp instruments to avoid penetrating my or other’s skin.
5. I will be aware that supplies for my protection are offered as a service of the laboratory.
6. I will neither perform surgical procedures that are not on today’s schedule, as these specimens may be used for other educational purposes, nor will I work at lab stations to which I have not been formally assigned.
