Tour Rules of Conduct & Safety Procedures

We have the rare privilege here at Weber State University to have human cadavers and preserved specimens available for undergraduates to use and study. More importantly, we also have a rare privilege of undergraduate training in cadaver dissection and prosection. This latter experience is incredibly rare for an undergraduate institution. Computer, plastic and other simulations cannot provide the same educational experience as these specimens.
 
The privilege and sensitive nature of working with human bodies require significant obligations from you as a student, and this code of conduct is listed below. Failure to abide by these obligations will result in your removal from the lab and official disciplinary action through Weber State University.
  • Photography, videography or any recordings of any form are strictly prohibited in the cadaver laboratory.  
    • No visitors or friends are permitted into the laboratory without a signed form AND consent of Dr. Brian Chung or Dr. Ronald Meyers.
  • Each cadaver is a patient with a name (randomly generated in order to preserve their privacy).  You will be introduced to these patients by their names and you are expected to treat these patients as if they were your own.
    • Remarks that are humorous or derogatory are inappropriate.
    • Students are not permitted to touch nor handle the patients.
  • Some of the specimens you will be handling have been extracted from our patients for further study. These specimens must be handled with care. Any effort to purposefully damage these specimens is grounds for dismissal from the laboratory.
  • No specimens or models are to be removed from the laboratory.  
  • No food or drink is permitted in the laboratory.
  • You are required to wear clothing that protects your legs from potential contamination. In other words, closed-toe shoes, pants or leggings that cover all of your lower limbs, and long hair tied back to reduce the risk of exposure to the embalming fluids used in the lab.
