Would you consider giving your body to science once you die? From helping aspiring doctors to learn how the body works and furthering medical research to providing a practical and financially conscious alternative to traditional burial, whole body donation, also called an anatomical gift, can allow for real and lasting ways to support medical advances that impact the lives of future generations.

Joining us for a discussion of whole body anatomical giving and the donor program at the Zucker School of Medicine is Robert Hill, PhD, Associate Professor of Science Education and Director of the Whole Body Anatomical Gift Program at the Zucker School of Medicine, and Rose Tirotta-Esposito, Assistant Director of Teaching, Learning and Innovation at Hofstra who will speak about her decision to become a donor.
