SurgeryLive!

At the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation, we’re proud to support SurgeryLive!—an innovative, hands-on educational experience made possible through our partnership with Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts and UPMC in Central PA.

With high-definition video conferencing and real-time access to UPMC operating rooms, students get a rare, inside look at live surgeries—asking questions directly to surgeons and OR staff as they perform procedures.

The program sparks curiosity and opens eyes to careers in health care in a way no textbook ever could.Following the live procedure, students who attend in person can deepen their learning through the Extension Experience, a 30-minute, interactive session in the PNC Innovation Zone and DeSoto Lounge, designed to reinforce what they saw earlier in the day.

Whether joining virtually or in person, Surgery Live! is transforming how students connect with health care—and we’re honored to help make that happen.
