LIVE FROM

SURGERY Via high-definition video conferencing, this unique program allows students to stand next to surgeons in their operating suites and converse with them while they perform actual surgeries, including cardiac bypass, neurosurgeries, kidney transplants, and fetal surgeries. In addition, students are also introduced to all the members of the surgical team and exposed to potential career opportunities in medicine from surgery to biotechnology. Each year LSC offers dozens of live surgeries, viewed by nearly 10,000 students since the program's inception in 1996. Some of the best medical centers in the region help us bring the Live From Surgery experience to LSC. • Morristown Medical Center: Cardiac Classroom • Overlook Hospital: Neurosurgery • RWJBarnabas Health: Kidney Transplant • Hackensack Meridian UMC: Robotic Surgery • Newark Beth Israel Medical Center: Heart Transplant/VAD • Advocare the Orthopedic Center in Affiliation with Morristown Medical Center, Overlook Hospital: Pediatric Orthopedic • The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital: Neonatal
