Cadaver Ball

The Cadaver Ball is a medical school tradition. As strange as it sounds, it started ages ago at the IV league medical schools. First there is a Cadaver Memorial, where the students honor the people and their families of those who donated their bodies to science. Afterwards (or weeks away), there is a reception. Also known as 'medical school prom.' The Cadaver Ball holds a lot of significance as well. It marks as a celebration that the M1s are done with their gross anatomy. The M1s plan and host this event for the M2s as a thank you for helping them get through their first year. Can you believe that these students, on top of going through Infectious Diseases, make time to plan this event. They did mutliple fundraisers, the meal was catered, decorated, put together a video, slideshow, and MC'd. The theme was Miami Vice. Here are a few pictures of the event.

It was hard being surrounded by all the girls in their little skinny dresses and me and my belly... but it wasn't too bad and I just practiced my prego pose!
