Is this clinical experience…if you're working with the deceased?

Would this position be considered clinical? It seems unique, but of course it's working with deceased patients and might be kind of uncomfortable…has anyone done this before?

I think it looks like a great/unique experience worth taking. However, you would definitely still need shadowing and other clinical experience on top of it (which most people have more than one clinical experience anyway)

yeah, this should count --basically organ harvesting and skin bank stuff.

From your thread title I was picturing something closer to "weekend at Bernies".

As an aside, if you get to do this try to shadow an organ harvest surgery. It is without a doubt the best anatomy lesson you will ever get. Probably the only time you will get to see a living human body (as opposed to a cadaver profused with formaldehyde) completely open and functioning.

I did cornea procurement for a year and thought it was a great experience. I was sad when I had to stop due to a conflict with my grad school obligations. I just wouldn't have it be your only clinical experience. But it was definitely informative.

Sounds cool!
