A thorough grasp of human anatomy is one of the most important lessons of medical school, and it relies on people deciding to donate their bodies upon death to medical education. On this week's Sound Medicine show, we explore that generous gift and the lesson it teaches tomorrow’s doctors.
Tune in to find out how a body donor becomes a medical student's first patient. We hear from a medical student, anatomy professors, a bioethicist, and from the wife a man who gave his body to science.
