Laparoscopic week is always one of the most exiting and fun experiences for our students. We are truly grateful to Carilion Roanoke Community Hospital for their support each year!

Picking up right where we left off prior to spring break and having a little hands on fun to go with it! Our students really enjoyed suture day in the lab 😷
