Each spring we hold a memorial service to honor those who have donated their bodies to help educate our medical and dental students.

Anatomy donors have a profound impact on medical education and the future of patient care. Through generosity and compassion, these donors become the first teachers for the next generation of physicians and dentists. The memorial service is a way for students and donor’s loved ones to recognize and honor this lasting gift.
