COSI, Center of Science and Industry, based in Columbus Ohio, hosted this live videoconference for several schools from Operating Room #6 at Mount Carmel East Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. We were able to ask questions to the orthopedic surgeon and his team while he removed the diseased cartilage and bone from the knee and replaced these with a prosthetic. Students from the Ap Biology and Anatomy and Physiology classes also attended this live videoconference.

This was an exceptional experience for high school students interested in medicine and physical therapy as future careers.
