Body Donor Program 
Philadelphia Campus

Body donation is a generous and humanitarian decision. There is much to be learned from the human body. Those who donate their remains to science make a tremendous contribution to the knowledge and depth of understanding surrounding medical education.

In Pennsylvania, individuals who wish to donate their remains to science must contact the Humanity Gifts Registry of Pennsylvania. If an individual wishes to donate their body directly to Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, they must inform the Humanity Gifts Registry.

For additional information regarding body donation in Pennsylvania, including forms and contact information, please visit the Humanity Gift Registry website or call the office of Julie Huss, Assistant Director of Human Anatomy Laboratory, at 215-871-6447.
