The State Anatomy Board, an ex officio body,
was created in 1947 (Chapter 669, Acts of 1947).
The Board's purpose is to ensure the proper dis-
tribution of cadavers to qualified hospitals, medi-
cal schools, and other agencies engaged in medical
education and research. Bodies are distributed eq-
uitably to the anatomy department of each medi-
cal school in Maryland. The Board also carries
out the legal provisions regulating Consent to
Post Mortem Examination (Chapter 315, Acts of
1961) and the Anatomical Gift Act (Chapter 467,
Acts of 1968).

The Board consists of two representatives from
each of the departments of anatomy of medical
schools in the State of Maryland and one repre-
sentative of the Department of Anatomy of the
University of Maryland School of Dentistry.
Members of the Board are designated by the ad-
ministrative officers of each school (Code
Health—General Article, sees. 5-401 through
5-409).

The State Commission on Arthritis and Related
Diseases was created in 1985 (Chapter 250, Acts
of 1985). The Commission coordinates the activi-
ties of public and private agencies, medical
schools, and related professional groups to im-
prove the quality of life for arthritic individuals
and their families. The Commission makes recom-
mendations designed to contain costs associated
with arthritis prevention and treatment, and voca-
tional training, as well as to improve the delivery
of State services. The Commission also develops
and coordinates programs in vocational rehabilita-
tion and industry designed to help arthritic indi-
viduals remain productive in the workforce.

Through its studies and recommendations, the
Commission seeks to form an integrated State
program of education and applied research in ger-
ontology and geriatrics. The development of a
strategic plan of patient education throughout
Maryland is coordinated by the Commission. The
plan involves State and local health departments,
private agencies, pharmaceutical companies, medi-
cal schools, and related professional organizations.

The Commission consists of fifteen members ap-
pointed by the Governor, who designates the
chairperson. Initially, three members serve one-
year terms, four serve for two years, four serve for
three years, and four serve for four years. Thereaf-
ter, all members will be appointed to four-year
terms (Code Health—General Article, sees.
13-501 through 13-506).
