GIFT OF BODY PROGRAM AGREEMENT BY DONORApril 22nd, 2019
FiledApril 22nd, 2019The donation of one’s body historically is an accepted way to contribute meaningfully to essential advances of medical science. Bodies donated to the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine are used for educational purposes in the instruction for students training for the medical, physical therapy, and athletic training professions. Bodies are also used in undergraduate anatomy courses, largely populated by pre-healthcare professions students, and by physicians and researchers who are involved in more specific studies to advance educational and basic science research outcomes in various medical specialties, such as orthopedics, otolaryngology, and plastic surgery.
