Schedule of Events

Donors and scholarship recipients are invited to come together for a very special evening to celebrate our community’s shared commitment to the students of the Perelman School of Medicine. This year, our students will honor our donors with their sincere gratitude for their generous support of financial aid and the Henry A. Jordan, M’62 Medical Education Center!

The Perelman School of Medicine's IMPaCT curriculum (Integrating Medicine | Patient Care | Transitions) offers a wealth of opportunities for students to customize their medical education, pursue unique professional experiences, and earn additional designations, certificates, or degrees. Students can also engage in extracurricular activities that both align with their passions and advance our institution’s core missions. In this session, you will hear from some of our students on the inspiring ways they have explored their interests, forged innovative paths, and shaped their medical journeys.

Notable progress has been made in recent years regarding brain-computer interfaces (BCI)—technology that provides a direct communication link between the brain and an external device, primarily by recording electrical activity generated by neurons. Typically, these medical devices are surgically implanted deep within or onto the surface of the brain. From monitoring epilepsy to developing therapies for traumatic brain injury, applications for this growing field are tremendous. In 2021, marking a significant step forward in neuro-technology, BCI device companies received approval from the FDA to conduct human clinical studies. Join Brian Litt, MD, and a panel of esteemed Penn Medicine faculty in discussing the frontier of innovative neuro-devices and the future of this groundbreaking technology.
