Perfusion Case Study
with Clinical Anatomy Fundamentals
This course is ABCP-approved for 5 hours CE.
6-months access. Complete at your own pace.
This course introduces a perfusion case study with a complication and first asks for a clinical assessment of the case. Then, the course teaches real cardiovascular anatomy from actual patients (pericardium, external heart anatomy, coronary arteries, central vessels, chambers, valves, etc.). Students then check their clinical thinking on the case study by viewing the actual autopsy findings and applying the knowledge gained during the course.

EMS Case Study
with Clinical Anatomy Fundamentals
This course is CAPCE-approved for 6 hours CE.
6-months access. Complete at your own pace.
This course introduces an emergency medicine case study, asks for a clinical assessment of the case and presents the in-field decision-making from real emergency records. Then, the course teaches real cardiovascular and respiratory anatomy from actual patients (pericardium, external heart anatomy, coronary arteries, central vessels, chambers, valves, lungs, airway, etc.). Students then check their clinical thinking on the case study by viewing the actual autopsy findings and applying the knowledge gained during the course.

Evidence-based Thinking
for Death Investigators
This course is ABMDI-approved for 1.75 hours CE.
6-months access. Complete at your own pace.
This course teaches evidence-based thinking skills key to competently handling observations and case analysis in death investigation. Students learn to sort through fact vs. opinion; train on bias and prejudice awareness; and are armed with techniques that prevent misinterpretation of data. Concepts are first practiced with simple real-world examples; and then applied to actual medical and forensics cases from the autopsy.online video database.

Human Histology Lab
This resource is geared for high schools and beyond.
View real human tissue slides via an interactive digitized online format. Magnify from 2x to 40x and scan like a real microscope. Access slides from 25 normal organs (skin, skeletal muscle, heart, etc.). Includes tissue lab activities: students utilize the slide set to identify various tissue types (squamous epithelium, columnar epithelium, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, etc.).

1-day Autopsy Field Trip
This event is geared for high schools.
Arrange 24-hour access to two introductory autopsy cases (Case 1 – Chest and Abdomen; Case 16 – Head). Bring students into the autopsy suite with autopsy.online’s unique “first person videography.” The event demonstrates the basic autopsy procedure and basic internal anatomy. Parental consents included. Preview the day before. Run multiple times the day of the event. NGSS-aligned.

Human Heart Lab
This lab is geared for high schools and college-level programs.
This lab teaches heart anatomy directly from the body. View how the heart sits inside the chest, the pericardial sac, external heart anatomy, coronary arteries, chambers and valves. This interactive course functions as an alternative and expansion of veal/cow heart dissections. Programs wanting students to advance to medical school-level human anatomy training; swanting to build programs without animal dissection; or wanting to match digitized resources with real views of the body — will be interested in this unique training resource. We let the body teach.
