    A little bit about our program...

Today,
many people are investigating the possibility of donating their bodies to the University of Calgary for purposes of medical education. Such donations provide students and other health care professionals with a unique opportunity to familiarize themselves with the anatomical relationships found in the human body that are essential for understanding the progression and treatment of disease.

Students preparing themselves for careers in medicine and related professions are fully aware of the special privilege granted to them by means of the University of Calgary’s Body Donation Program (formerly known as the Body Bequeathal Program) and the obligation that they have to conduct themselves in a professional manner during their educational training. The education of students largely depends on the public spirit of those people who donate their bodies to be studied after their deaths.

On behalf of the University of Calgary, the Faculty of Medicine, the medical trainees, and the patients who will ultimately be treated by these new doctors we would like to express deep appreciation of the public spirit of those who donate their bodies for medical study.

If you are interested in more information about donating one's body to the University of Calgary's Body Donation Program, please see the Program Details section of this website.
