ESU 10 Students Watch an Autopsy

"Very cool!", "interesting", "gross", "I learned so much".  That≠s how students from the Kearney Catholic Advanced Biology class described their recent experience at ESU 10.

Kearney Catholic students along with Loup City, Ord, and Pleasanton  recently took advantage of an outstanding opportunity in Biology.  They were able to take part in a video taped autopsy, via live video conference, guided by retired forensic pathologist Dr. Larry R. Tate.  The format allowed for constant interpretation of the autopsy procedure by Dr. Tate and gave the students the opportunity to ask questions as the 90 minute procedure progressed.

The program, by COSI science in conjunction with The Ohio State University Medical Center, included student information packets which served as a student guide, follow up toxicology and histology experiments to determine cause of death, and career information in medical fields, specifically in the area of pathology.

The experience was memorable and gave students a chance to "enjoy viewing the parts of the body that we always learn about but never really see".  Thank you to all of those at ESU 10 for your efforts to make this once in a lifetime experience possible!!
