On May 3, 2022, students in the Class of 2025 Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program
honored the eighty-six individuals that donated their bodies to medical and educational
research at PCOM. White roses representing each donor were placed in vases outside
the anatomy lab as a reminder to all students, faculty and staff of the sacrifice
the donors have made to advance scientific research and aid in educating future healthcare
professionals. Read more about the 2022 Memorial Service.
