First- and second-year medical students honored those who have donated their bodies to science during BCOM’s first annual Willed Body Memorial Ceremony. BCOM students learn human anatomy firsthand through the Gross Anatomy Lab, where students work with the bodies of individuals who donate their remains after passing.
Associate Professor and Chair of Anatomy and Cell Biology Miriam Donohue, PhD, said, “There was a moment where these donors made the choice to support your education, where they chose to be part of your experience. Today is about being grateful for the things we’ve been given.”
