Darnell-Cookman
Sophomores Perform Mock Surgery at Medtronic
Tenth-grade anatomy and
physiology students from Darnell-Cookman School of the Medical Arts
recently performed a mock surgery and watched the dissection of a
human cadaver cranium at Medtronic, Inc., a leading developer of
products to treat people with diseases of the ear, nose and throat.
Medtronic is also a business
partner of the school's. Bo Lewis, the senior director of marketing
for the Jacksonville Medtronic office, first heard about Darnell-Cookman
from a newspaper article. He hadn't realized that Jacksonville had a
medical arts school, but knew the Medtronic facility could be useful
for the students. Lewis got in touch with the school to find out how
they could have a partnership.
"There are not many
opportunities for high school students to see things like real
cadaver tissue, or to have access to people who have experience in
the operating room performing neurosurgery or sinus surgery like our
staff has," said Lewis. "Visiting Medtronic provides these students
with a unique experience in the medical field."
