The History of Dissection

Join Anatomist and Human Remains Conservator Cat Irving as we learn about the history of anatomical studies and the importance of dissection in teaching and discovery.

Hear about the darker past of sourcing cadaver, how the process of dissection has improved dramatically through time and how things have changed for present day anatomists.

This episode is hosted by Chanté St Clair Inglis Director of Heritage and Estates at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

Produced by Jordanna Kielty-O'Neill and Keshena Goldie for Surgeons Hall Museums, Library and Archives.
