Since an anatomical donation is a gift to the institution, donors or their families never receive money for making a donation pledge. Donors may select a particular institution to receive their gift. However, many permit the Associated Medical Schools to make that determination to provide an equal distribution of donations. Donors may specify final disposition, which will be honored in all cases by the institution that receives the anatomical gift. Most schools will assume the cost of final disposition unless the donor asks that their remains be returned to families for funeral ceremonies.
Donors are free to change their minds and revoke gifts at any time.
If you wish to pledge a donation. Please fill out and e-mail the donor form . AMS will then forward that form to the school selected. The school, in turn, will send you a donor card and additional information needed. The card is to be carried on your person, and the information sent from the school will explain the procedure that will be followed in the event of your death.
