AAMC Broadcasts Live Surgery to High School Students

More than 500 Anne Arundel County high school students viewed a live broadcast surgery performed by Adrian Park, MD, chair of Anne Arundel Medical Center’s (AAMC) Department of Surgery. This was part of AAMC’s Council of Advanced Student Learners (CASL) program, which is a partnership between Anne Arundel County Schools and AAMC’s James and Sylvia Earl SAIL Center. The CASL program provides high school seniors with an internship that allows for the exploration of health careers. Dr. Park facilitated a lesson and answered students’ questions as they watched a live video feed of the operating room and laparoscopic camera.
