Anatomical gift program helps educate future doctors

People who donate their bodies to science contribute significantly to educating future doctors and physical therapists. Learning about human anatomy is a key part of medical training, and Dana Mihaila, MD, PhD, explores how and why people choose to make this donation. She directs the Anatomical Gift Program and the anatomy lab at Upstate.
