Pasco students learn about robotic surgery technology
Date postedNovember 7, 2024
Students were able to operate some of the equipment themselves at the event, and had an opportunity to learn more about lung health while doing so, according to a news release. Medical staff from HCA Florida Trinity Hospital talked about the ill effects of smoking and vaping at the open house event.
Dr. Mathew Ninan, a general surgeon with HCA Florida, uses robotics routinely in the operating room. He was among those present at the open house with high school students Wednesday.
The event was inspired by the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast teen group which is participating in “healthcare career week” to learn more about working in a hospital setting.
