       RE:            Autopsies 

I believe that we all need to bear in mind that Autopsies can be a learning and teaching tool.  There are several recommendations for critical elements of success in obtaining an Autopsy and I would like for everyone to include it in their Curriculum Handbook as an attachment. 

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
