The Division of Autopsy Services, under the direction of Dr. Charles Hitchcock, continues its role in clinical care, education, and research. Additional faculty members include Drs. Rolf Barth, Larry DeRenne and Hari Sharma. The division serves the Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC) as well as the medical community and families of Ohio. The division continues to work closely with the members of the Franklin County Coroner’s Office in an effort to expand the clinical expertise of our division and to support its education and research missions. In contrast to a national trend of decreasing autopsies, the steady growth in our number of outside cases demonstrates our growing reputation of our clinical efforts in autopsy pathology among our peers and the people of Ohio. Additional autopsy faculty will be recruited in the coming year. The Wednesday Brain Cutting and Autopsy Education conferences provide timely clinical feedback to the clinicians, fellows, residents, medical students, and staff throughout the OSUMC. The educational opportunities of the Division of Autopsy Services has also led to an increase in participation in the service by medical students, nursing students, graduate students, undergraduate students, and area high school students. The main educational role of the division is training the pathology PGY-1 residents, oral pathology residents, and students enrolled in the department’s Pathologists Assistant Program. The Division of Autopsy Services continues to expand its collaborative research efforts. The faculty and staff have worked extensively with faculty and students of the Center for Automotive Research to help develop new types of sensors to better assess internal injuries in a crash. Autopsy cases continue to serve as the foundation of clinical case studies by residents and faculty inside and outside of the department. The division is working with OSUMC clinicians to establish a rapid autopsy capability in order to procure post-mortem tissue that will provide high quality material for molecular studies.
