The Autopsy Service provides feedback to physicians and families regarding the disease processes associated with a patient's death. The Service performs autopsies on deceased patients within the Duke Health System whose families grant permission for an autopsy. A major outcome of each autopsy is the accurate transmission of this information to the appropriate clinical staff in a timely manner.
The Autopsy Service also provides training for pathology residents and pathologists' assistant students in the principles and practice of anatomic pathology through the performance of autopsies.
Additional useful information concerning autopsies can be found on the website of the College of American Pathologists.
