San Diego BioMed participates in Global MAP Foundation Youth Med-Surg discovery Program at Brown Simulation Center in Sharp Grossmont

Scientists from San Diego BioMed’s Marcondes lab participated in an amazing initiative coordinated by Dr. Allain Legend Raymond, a cardio thoracic surgeon, and founder the Global MAP Foundation, to provide teens with exposure to medical sciences. The Med-Surg Discovery workshop was geared at kids from 13 to 17 years old and took place last Saturday, November 8th, at the James Brown Simulation Center in Sharp Grossmont. An exciting turnout – over 30 teenagers took part in the program, from La Mesa to Chula Vista. They learned how to perform life-saving CPR, examined thoracic anatomy in detail, learned principles of surgery and heart dissection, and had the opportunity to learn about pathology of heart and other organ tissues. San Diego BioMed and the Global MAP Foundation are aligned in the mission of empowering the next generation to learn science, and to giving people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity!
