Project Description: The use of heart specimens for teaching paediatric cardiology and cardiac surgical trainees is well established, and widely regarded as an essential component of education and training. The cardiac specimen collection at RCH has been accumulated over more than fifty years. Cataloguing and classification will ensure the specimens are properly preserved as an invaluable resource for research into, and the teaching of the pathology of congenital heart defects.
