autopsy service Services Available Monday-Friday 8am-3pm; Saturday 8am-12pm
Our Autopsy Service provides complete autopsy evaluation and professional consultation for VCUHS patients, area hospitals without the facility to perform autopsy examinations, and provides independent private autopsies under special circumstances. Our Service is staffed by faculty mentors who are certified in Anatomic Pathology, two Pathologists’ Assistants, a Pathology Lab Assistant, and one to two rotating Pathology Residents who perform about 130 autopsies a year. Together, the VCUHS Pathologists and Pathologists' Assistants contribute many years of knowledge and experience to the Autopsy Service. Our services are available Monday through Friday 8am-3pm, Saturday 8am-12pm. We are located in Sanger Hall, 1101 E. Marshall St. Room B2-018 in Richmond, VA. Our large facility is located in an academic hospital setting. Because we are a teaching hospital, we offer university-level professional resources, a residency training program, and outstanding research. Our modern facilities and equipment provide many expanding opportunities for clinical research in areas such as trauma, orthopedics and other specialties. The Pathologists and Pathologists’ Assistants are vital teachers with a wealth of knowledge and experience for the Pathology Residency Program. All are tasked with teaching and assisting the Pathology Residents during their autopsy rotations. The Autopsy Service also contributes to the training and education of physicians and surgeons by providing post-mortem exposure to rare conditions and anomalies, as well as post operative outcomes. It also provides an opportunity to identify ante-mortem conditions not noted before death. An Autopsy Gross (macroscopic tissue) Conference is held every Friday at 8am in Sanger Hall B02-018. The previous week’s cases are presented and discussed at this conference. All VCHUS physicians, medical students, and Nursing staff are invited to attend.
