Heart at Work in MS Science

On March 9, Hackley parent Dr Samantha Rai visited eighth grade science students together with Dr Nicole Patrone. Dr Rai and Dr Patrone worked with the students as they dissected heart specimens. Read on.
Students were then challenged to use the suturing techniques that they had learned in a prior session to solve several challenges with their heart specimens, including valve repair, blood vessel repair and septum repair. One group of students even sutured their heart back together again! It was another great session where students were able to interact with medical professionals and learn some real medical skills.
