Reply #13: Anyway, to elaborate on what I was saying... the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

the Washington D.C. area has a collection of pathology specimens, corrolated with X-rays, CT/MRI scans etc., that are considered so good that they are a national resource, and, as I understand it, pretty much all the accredited radiology residency training programs spend a rotation there studying that collection and being tested on it.

It's my feeling that medical education in the U.S. (and world, for that matter) would benefit greatly from having a central repository of Bodyworlds type exhibits that all students could spend a rotation studying. It would be nice if trained physicians could also get continuing education credit for coming back to study these specimens, taking tests on it etc.
