Medical University of South Carolina

In February 2011, health science students throughout the Charleston area participated in VSI Project. Surgeons at the Medical University of South Carolina, Dr. Charles Bratton and Dr. Ken Chavin, teamed to preform a live donor kidney surgery and interacted with students as part of this unique experience. The event was streamed live to participating schools and allowed them to chat directly with the surgical team. Teacher lesson plans were also made available in advance of the live show to prepare students not only about the surgery but also the importance of being an organ donor.
