I finally started writing a rough draft for my letter to the Westampton medical examiner's office. It's not finished yet, but it's good to get another blog entry in. I want to have my mom and Repasy look over it before I email it to the medical examiner.
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Antonia Santarsiero, and I'm an Anatomy and Physiology student at Northern Burlington High School. For the second semester of my senior year, I got the idea to try to start an annual trip for students to see a human autopsy. After searching local medical examiner's offices, I was excited to find that the office in Westampton is only one town over from my school district.
I feel like watching an autopsy in person would greatly benefit the students at my school, especially those who are planning on going into the medical field. It's so much more informative to see an autopsy being performed with one's own eyes, rather than hearing about it from one's teacher or looking at pictures in a textbook. I've already surveyed 46 seniors from my school, and 54% said they would definitely go on a trip to see an autopsy. A large majority of respondents said they think the trip would be extremely educational and informative. I would love to be able to create a new opportunity for students at my school that will benefit them in so many ways.
I would be so grateful if your office allowed my school to view an autopsy at your facility.
