Approximate breakdown of costs for offering the Cadaver Review Session at our institution for 2 years. Note that all fees and costs are institution-specific and should be negotiated with appropriate local representatives and departments. We paid graduate students enrolled in a master’s degree in anatomy at our institution to complete the dissections of pre-determined regions. The rate is $20/h, and dissection time is approximately 75 h per side. To maximize preservation of the cadaver, one side was dissected each calendar year. The State Anatomical Board of Colorado requires that cadavers be returned for cremation within 2 calendar years
