02:26 In the third century BC, the human body was used by Europeans as part of the study of medicine.
02:35 Until now, for Professor Rafael Bundoc, chair of the anatomy department,
02:40 it is a big challenge for first-year medical students to learn from their silent mentor.
02:47 From day one, when we orient our medical students,
02:51 that is what we say, they have many teachers, professors, and face-to-face.
02:57 We are alive, but we are not important.
03:01 What is important is that they will face a silent mentor first.
03:04 Silent, quiet, mentor, teacher.
03:08 Why do we call them silent mentors?
03:11 Because they do not speak, but they will give their whole body to study.
03:17 That is the ultimate sacrifice in medicine.
