The Integrated Health Education team at the CAMC Center for Learning and Research welcomed robotics club students from Horace Mann Middle School and Chamberlain Elementary School on Friday, Jan. 16.
During the visit, the students explored how robotics is used in health care through hands-on practice with a da Vinci Surgical System and simulation technology, as well as an escape room experience. The event underscored the intersection of STEM education and medical innovation, inspiring students to see the impact of robotics beyond the classroom.
The students also brought robots they had built themselves, explaining their ideas and design processes to faculty and staff of the CAMC Institute for Academic Medicine.
“We enjoyed sharing the innovative ways we’re advancing medical education, and we were equally inspired by the creativity and talent these students brought with their robotics projects,” said Marc Dotson, DO, Medical Director of Integrated Health Education.
Dr. Dotson added, “We’re proud to be part of this community, and we’re committed to supporting the growth of the next generation of leaders, problem-solvers and innovators. The future is in great hands.”
