Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 100

I hope to have one Surgeon, but hopefully 2 or 3, as guest speakers for my classes. The surgeon will provide our students with an inside look at how to perform a surgery, and explain the details of being a surgeon. This unit will serve as a practical tool for the students to experience, first hand, how surgeons use surgical instruments during their surgical procedures. The surgeon will be able to tell our students the similarities and functionality of this unit as compared to many of the instruments/tools they use during their surgical procedures.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Our goal is to help our students keep their dreams and dream big. Many of our students in the medical academy begin dreaming of becoming a surgeon while in the classroom, we hope to encourage them to pursue those dreams and provide them with a basic sample of what it feels to achieve their big dream.

What will be done with my students

Students will be introduced to laparoscopy. Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which a fiber-optic instrument is inserted through the abdominal wall to view the organs in the abdomen or to permit a surgical procedure. Students receive the opportunity to perform a simple and basic simulate surgery skill, using real surgical instruments. This will be one of the many opportunities our students have to explore and experience different medical career opportunities.

Benefits to my students

Students will receive a unique opportunity to experience the intricate details of performing a surgical procedure first hand. This, along with many other classroom tools and supplies, will help students discover new career paths or reinforced their desire to dream big and achieve big career goals.

Budget Narrative

A complete simple set to experience and practice laparoscopic surgery. It provides simulate surgery conditions to give students a real-life feeling of what it is to perform surgical procedures.
