The Center of Science and Industry (COSI), in partnership with Mt. Carmel Hospital, video conferenced a knee surgery today for the students to watch. The surgeons, nurses, physician's assistant, surgical tech, anesthesiologist and medical sales reps all had an opportunity to speak to the students about what they do, how they got to this career and why they love it. Students had an opportunity to ask questions of the surgeon and see the skeletal and muscle system (our last unit and our current unit) up close and personal!
Here is a diagram of what the students were actually able to see live:
The surgery took a little over an hour and everyone was captivated! Just take a look:
