使用解剖学来研究人体解剖学是未来卫生专业人员教育卓越的基础，因为它提供了一个理想的机会来学习三维身体形态，同时也为学生提供了更人性化的教育。由于缺少解剖用的尸体，加上巴西民众对自愿捐献自己尸体的可能性缺乏了解，阿莱格雷波尔图联邦卫生科学大学设立了“为解剖学教育和研究捐献尸体方案”。该计划基于三个支柱：向公众通报该计划，捐赠者登记和捐赠本身。自2008年设立捐赠者计划以来，捐赠者生前的捐赠数量和大学收到的遗体数量都有所增加。这些尸体的来源也发生了变化，因为在该计划创建之前，大多数尸体都是无人认领的尸体，而今天大多数尸体都来自自愿捐赠。公众接受遗体捐献的初步结果令人鼓舞，捐献者登记人数每年都在增加。因此，用于教育目的的材料的质量和数量都有了很大提高。Anat Sci Educ.（c）2013年美国解剖学家协会。
The use of dissection to study human anatomy is the foundation for educational excellence among future health professionals, as it offers an ideal opportunity to learn the body's morphology in three dimensions while also providing students with a more humanistic education. The shortage of bodies for dissection, combined with the Brazilian population's lack of knowledge concerning the possibility of voluntarily donating their own bodies, led to the creation of the Body Donation Programs for Education and Research in Anatomy at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre (UFCSPA). The program is based on three pillars: Informing the general public about the program, donor registration, and donation itself. Since the creation of the donor program in 2008, there has been an increase in both the number of donations made during donor's lifetime and the number of bodies received by the university. There has also been a shift in relation to the origin of these bodies, as before the creation of the program most bodies were unclaimed cadavers, while today most of the bodies are sourced from voluntary donations. The initial results regarding the public's acceptance of the possibility of making body donations have been encouraging, as shown by the annual growth in donor registrations. Consequently, the quality and quantity of the material available for educational purposes have greatly improved. Anat Sci Educ. (c) 2013 American Association of Anatomists.
