The McGovern Medical School Class of 2029 honors their first patients with the 2026 Cadaver Memorial. Upon completion of the Gross Anatomy course each year, first-year students show their appreciation to individuals who donated their bodies for medical science through the McGovern Medical School Willed Body Program.
