Doctor in the House: Silent Mentors For Medical Students

Dr George Lee, Consultant Urologist; Prof Dr Saw Aik, Programme Director, Silent Mentor

Description: Medical students rely on cadavers during their years in medical school to learn the fundamentals of human anatomy but how often do they know the person behind the body? The Silent Mentor programme at Universiti Malaya aims to change that through its unique body donation programme. Here to tell us more about it is Prof Dr Saw Aik, its programme director.
