Students Honor Those Who Teach Beyond Their Lifetime During Convocation of Thanks

Ceremony Highlights the Profound Role of Body Donors in Shaping Future Clinicians

Though first-year students at New York Medical College (NYMC) change each year, the annual tradition of the Convocation of Thanks continues, offering medical and speech-language pathology students the opportunity to express their gratitude to the families of loved ones whose bodies were graciously donated to NYMC for the study of anatomy. Through music, poetry, and reflection, the students honored their “first patients” and “first teachers” in the anatomy lab during this year’s moving and inspiring Convocation on April 24.
