What is the Anatomical Board?
The Colorado State Anatomical Board is an agency of the State, created by statute in 1927. It is located at the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado Denver. The members of the Board are the Deans of the of the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, and the Chairpersons of the Departments of Cellular and Structural Biology and Surgery.
The State Anatomical Board was created to receive donated bodies for the purpose of education and research. Human anatomy is the basis of all medical knowledge, and can only be learned by anatomical study.
The giving of one's body at the time of death for anatomical study is truly a noble and commendable act. It is a gift of inestimable value both now, and to future generations.
