MD Students Create Poignant Service of Gratitude
“As medical students, our journey through Anatomy has been more than just a rite of passage. It has been an intimate and humbling experience that has deepened our commitment to the field of medicine. The generosity of those who donated their bodies to science has strengthened our sense of responsibility—not only to learn and grow as physicians, but also to carry forward the lessons of compassion and selflessness.” Javier Sanchez, co-president of the Yale School of Medicine (YSM) MD Class of 2027, shared these sentiments with classmates, faculty, and family members of body donors to YSM, at the annual Service of Gratitude, traditionally held at the end of the year-long Anatomy course.
