Training in post-mortem pathology

A degree of post-mortem training is currently a requirement for every histopathology trainee within the United Kingdom. The expectation is that all trainees should be able to eviscerate and perform basic systematic organ examinations in a variety of straightforward cases to identify common causes of death. Those who are interested in pursuing further training may opt into the Royal College of Pathologists Higher Post-mortem training module. Becoming adept at post-mortem practice is challenging without access to an adequate number of a range of cases, high quality trainers, and a well-structured and supportive learning environment.
