Breakout Sessions
Breakout sessions are subject to change.
Organ Perfusion
When lives are on the line, timing is everything. In this session, learn how organs are preserved during transportation. Advancements in perfusion keep organs viable longer while they make their way to their new home. Students will have a hands-on opportunity with a human kidney that has been donated for education and research.
Donation & Transplantation Speed Networking
Have you ever wondered what a career in donation and transplantation looks like? There are many opportunities and job roles that go into making a lifesaving transplant a success. In this session, students will meet with several donation and transplantation professionals in small groups, spending a few minutes learning about their career path and exploring tools of the trade.
Tissue Transformations
Explore the world of tissue transplantation and learn about all the ways tissue grafts can help those in need. Students will explore human anatomy and dive into specific cases that have led to healing and lifesaving outcomes after tissue donation. Students will have the opportunity to interact with a human heart that has been donated for education and research.
Connect to Purpse Panel
Our connect to purpose panel will bring the field trip full circle by spotlighting real life connections to donation and transplantation. Students will have the meaningful opportunity to hear from donor families, recipients, and living donors whose lives have been directly impacted by donation.
Donation & Transplantation Trivia Challenge
After lunch, the field trip will conclude with a trivia challenge. Each school will face off against other participating schools to test their knowledge of donation and transplantation and vie for the coveted trivia challenge trophy.
