Students in this advanced course use case studies to explore methods of injection, embalming chemicals, aspiration, and cavity treatment to embalm the so-called "usual" case. Preparation of autopsied cases and more unusual and difficult cases (advanced decomposition, gangrene, mutilation, edema) are explored using case studies. Students apply concepts of contagion, infection, and radiation to procedures for handling and preparation of human remains affected by these conditions.
