Ethics

Our Process and Commitment

All cases come from Autopsy Center of Chicago, the parent medical practice of Autopsy.Online. We know each of our patients and their families personally. Their gift — and our attention to medicolegal and ethical standards — make Autopsy.Online unique and ground-breaking in medical education.

✓ Grief-sensitive

It’s like organ donation. Families may choose to authorize video-donation when it supports their bereavement goals.

✓ Informed Consent

Video-recording authorization is by in-person, gentle, informed consent at the time of the autopsy.

✓ Provider-recorded

Initial recordings occur in the context of HIPAA. Only the designated provider and authorized medical team may access the case content.

✓ De-identified

We follow clinical research standards. All video and case data go through a visual, audio and text-based de-identification process, while preserving educational and clinical integrity.
