WILLED BODY PROGRAM

Honoring Life Through Education

At the LIU College of Veterinary Medicine, the Willed Body Program is a deeply meaningful way to contribute to the advancement of veterinary education and animal health. Through this program, owners can elect to donate their beloved animals’ bodies to support veterinary medical training—transforming personal loss into a lasting legacy. These gifts provide our students with invaluable, hands-on experience that enhances their understanding of anatomy, surgical techniques, and clinical applications in ways no textbook or digital model can replicate.

• Transformative Learning: Students gain critical skills in anatomy, diagnostics, and clinical procedures using real-world applications.
• Ethical Training Environment: The program provides students with opportunities to learn in a respectful, humane, and professionally guided setting.
• Legacy of Compassion: Your donation contributes to the education of future veterinarians who will carry the values of care, dignity, and respect into their careers.
• No Financial Burden: There is no cost to the animal owner. LIU-CVM coordinates transportation and all associated logistics.

Donated animal bodies are treated with the utmost respect and used exclusively for educational purposes. These gifts empower our students with direct exposure to anatomical diversity and clinical realism—preparing them for successful, compassionate practice in the field. Every donation supports our mission to develop highly skilled veterinarians ready to meet the needs of animals and their communities.
