In-Person at the Bruce Schroffel Auditorium, Anschutz Inpatient Pavilion 2, First Floor Conference Room.
The event will also be accessible via Zoom at https://ucdenver.zoom.us/j/93273540118.

Dr. Hildebrandt's presentation will delve into her extensive research on the ethical dimensions of anatomy, particularly focusing on the history of anatomy during the Nazi era. The discussion will explore the enduring legacies of this dark chapter in medical history and its impact on anatomy education today.
