Annual Memorial Service

Anatomic donors at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) are exclusively willed donors with fully informed consent coming to us from the State Anatomy Board, of which the UMSOM is a founding member of the Board.

The State Anatomy Board of Maryland holds an annual memorial service in the Spring to honor and recognize the generosity of all of the donors who have given of themselves such that future physicians may be trained.

This memorial service is held on the third week in June (approximate date) at an auditorium close to the State Anatomy Board of Maryland memorial site, located in the gardens located opposite the historic Patterson House. The memorial is open to family, friends, faculty, students, and the general public.

We will send a reminder to your class council in early Spring as you approach the end of your first year and reflect on all that our donors have given.
