FSE 203 — Embalming Laboratory
In this course students demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to function as an embalmer. Emphasis will be placed on the student’s ability to demonstrate proper practical embalming techniques, including posing of features, raising of vessels, mixing embalming fluids, injecting fluids, aspiration and suturing of incisions. Embalming reports will be completed to document cognitive processes used to plan, prescribe, apply, and evaluate, embalming treatments used. Students must be certified as being proficient by a Qualified Instructor on those techniques before a grade will be issued for completion of the course. Students will be required to obtain insurance as required by program. Apprentice Certification is required from the State in which the embalming laboratory is conducted.
