Item A Famine of Cadavers: Indianapolis Graverobbing in 1902(2023-09-22) Flook, ChrisPresentation slides for lecture delivered by Chris Flook (Public Historian; Senior Lecturer of Media, Ball State University) on September 22, 2023. In fall of 1902, Indianapolis police detectives uncovered a massive graverobbing ring. That summer, ghoulish body snatchers had plundered Marion County cemeteries for fresh corpses and sold them to medical colleges as cadavers. This presentation, based on Flook’s book, "Indianapolis Graverobbing: A Syndicate of Death," explores this history, the state’s anatomy laws at the time, and the trials of those involved.

Uncovering the controversial and often grim history of acquiring bodies for anatomical study, from the shadowy days of grave robbing and body snatching to the emergence of ethical standards and regulations, this presentation shines a light on the evolution of practices that have shaped the field of dissection, prompting reflection on the delicate balance between scientific progress and ethical considerations.

In 1971, the Indiana General Assembly passed a bill to create and fund a distributed model for medical education for which IUSM was responsible, an innovative approach to implementing a statewide medical education program. IUSM became one of the first U.S. medical schools to implement what is today known as a regional medical campus model. This regional medical campus system has permitted IUSM to expand enrollment based on national and local concerns about physician shortages, increase access to care locally, support expansion of graduate medical education, and provide opportunities for research and scholarship by faculty and students statewide. This effort was made possible by partnerships with other universities and health care systems across the state and the support of local community and state leaders. The model is a forward-thinking and cost-effective way to educate physicians for service in the state of Indiana and is applicable to others. This article highlights milestones in IUSM’s 50-year history of regional medical education, describes the development of the regional medical campus model, recognizes significant achievements over the years, shares lessons learned, and discusses considerations for the future of medical education.
