II. Key Functions and Performance

Provide the following information about the overall operations of your agency. More detailed information about individual programs will be requested in a later section.

A. Provide an overview of your agency's mission, objectives, and key functions.

The mission of the Anatomical Board of the State of Texas (SAB) is to facilitate the distribution of deceased human remains for the purpose of teaching and research. In doing so, the Board protects the interests of donors and their families by assuring that only authorized educational and medical institutions receive human remains, and that those remains are treated with dignity and respect.

The primary objective of the SAB is to make rules to ensure that the donated bodies in the custody of the board, or institutions represented on the board, or those institutions approved to receive donors by the board are treated with the respect and dignity that their donations merit. These institutions include not only educational and research institutions, but tissue banks, forensic science institutions and search and rescue training facilities. The secondary objective of the SAB is to equitably distribute the donor bodies to medical, dental, osteopathic, and chiropractic schools or others authorized to receive donor bodies, with priority going to bodies needed for the education (lectures and demonstrations) of our future health care practitioners.
