Alumni Weekend 2009
The Cutting Edge
Learn from clinicians and scientists as they showcase innovative treatments for patients across a spectrum of medical specialties. Attendees will rotate through a series of short demonstrations and laboratories that blend the domains of basic science and clinical medicine. The interactive program will allow alumni a hands-on experience in some of the venues.

A quote from a participant in last year's The Cutting Edge:
"I got to do virtual surgery this morning on a temporal bone and exposed the cochlea. Computer simulation is such a wonderful thing. I had the feel of the blade and the drill in my hand—it was so interesting, so different from what I do in my normal workday." — Laurie Weisberg, MD '79, Hematologist/Oncologist
