Why Donations Matter

Gifted bodies provide the cornerstone of anatomy education in the health professions and cannot be replicated through textbooks or even computers. Learn why donations matter, and how donors have impacted our students, professors and alumni.

The spatial relationships and the anatomy you learn as a part of the (dissection) process can’t be exactly replicated by other forms that we have now.

“It’s a privilege to continue to learn from this individual who has passed but had the foresight to say, ‘My body can be used in the progress of medical education.'”

–Javier Font, Physician Assistant program alumnus

“Individuals who donate their bodies are selfless, generous and have a big dream for the future even thought they’re not technically a part of it.”

–Emily Noldin, Occupational Therapy alumna

“Having an opportunity to do hands-on dissection really sets a blueprint in your mind.”

–Harold Gries, MD program alumnus
