**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the ZOOM webinar via email.**

Explore the history, practice, ethics, and legalities of whole body anatomical donation. Learn about the reasons, methods, needs, generosity, and more behind this crucial service. Historically, acquisition of bodies for research, education, and more nefarious purposes has had a troubling, if not outright, illegal and immoral past. Times have changed and, today, whole body anatomical donation is a well regulated, respectful, ethical practice, supplying medical schools and researchers with the means to teach, learn, and further medical knowledge. Led by Robert Bouchie, who has served as the Director for Anatomical Donation and Neurobiology Laboratory at Boston University's School of Medicine for the past 23 years.
