    Medical education often depends on the selfless decision of individuals and their families to donate their bodies to science. David Deshpande reads his and his colleagues' essay on their medical school's ceremony to honor anatomy donors. Through stories, photos, and music, their Service of Gratitude was a vivid reminder of the donors' humanity - and of how their gifts will help train future physicians and improve health care for generations to come. A beautiful listen! https://academicmedicinepodcast.libsyn.com/the-anatomy-of-gratitude
