Body donor programs in Australia and New Zealand: Current status and future opportunities
Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 301-328, March 2025.Abstract Body donation is critical to anatomy study in Australia and New Zealand. Annually, more than 10,000 students, anatomists, researchers, and clinicians access tissue donated by local consented donors through university‐based body donation programs. However, little research has been published about their operations.
