The body donor program at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) provides anatomical material which allows medical students at the College to study firsthand the intricacies of the human body and the relationships between body systems. This is something that even the best medical textbooks cannot teach.
The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine body donor program is operated by the Humanity Gifts Registry (HGR) of Pennsylvania. For additional information regarding the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine body donation program, please view our frequently asked questions page or contact Jeffrey K.

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.
