Medical students wave to mourners offshore after scattering ashes of body donors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Those interested in donating to the Willed Body Program<\/a> at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa John A. Burns School of Medicine<\/a> can now download and submit an application beginning April 15, 2020. The anatomy program was temporarily paused in September 2020 due to the pandemic and the reduction of in-person classes.<\/p>\n

Through the Willed Body Program, first-year medical students are introduced to their silent teachers in anatomy classes. The first thing they learn is how the body is to be treated with respect and to appreciate the opportunity the donor provides.<\/p>\n

For questions or more information, call the Willed Body Program at (808) 692-1445 or email wbdonor@hawaii.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
