This marks the third gift in three consecutive years from the Dr. and Mrs. Arthur William Phillips Charitable Trust to the University of Pennsylvania's School of Nursing and Health Sciences.
“We are grateful for the continued support of the Dr. and Mrs. Arthur William Phillips Charitable Trust,” said Ashley E. Day, manager of grants and communications. “This donation will provide our surgical technology students with the opportunity to learn through a virtual reality experience, enhancing their skills and confidence.”
Surgical technologists are the heart of surgical teams, performing life-saving tasks every day: preparing the operating room, assembling and testing specialized equipment, ensuring a sterile environment, ensuring patient safety and assisting during surgery. The job requires attention to detail and knowledge of surgical procedures.
